Easy Guacamole

2 ripe avocados

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon coarse sea salt

1/2 tablespoon pepper

1 jalapeno, seeds/rib removed, diced

1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice

1 small tomato, seeds and pulp removed, diced

1. Cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avacado from the peel, put in a mixing bowl.

(See How to Cut and Peel an Avocado.)

2. Using a fork, mash the avocado. Add the cilantro, garlic salt, salt, pepper, jalapeno, and lime juice. Mash the mix some more. Stir in the tomato last.

3. Cover with plastic wrap, directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation (green becomes brown), if not serving immediately.
