This recipe is for all those unfortunate times when you only ever have one avocado ripe at one time. It can also easily be scaled up if you have the great fortune of multiple ripe avocados.

guacamole ingredients

To start things off, dice your purple onion and Roma tomato, seed and dice your jalapeno pepper, mince your garlic, and finely chop your cilantro. Then, cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh away from the skin with a spoon.
