Scale

- Add tomato, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt (and pepper, if using)
- Stir to combine with a fork.
- Taste and add additional onion, lime juice, jalapeño, salt, cilantro, or tomato as desired.

Notes
*How To Store Guacamole:
- The food wrap method. Press plastic wrap or reusable food wrap down onto the surface of the guacamole. Press out any air bubbles, then cover with a lid if you can.
- The water method. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to level out the surface of the guacamole, sealing the edges against the sides of the bowl or container you’re using. Cover the surface of the guacamole with a thin layer of water. Drain and give the guacamole a stir before serving again. Repeat as needed!
