Guacamole

3 Haas avocados
1 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. cayenne (use 1/4 tsp. for less heat)
1/2 medium onion, diced (optional)
2 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

Scoop the avocados into a bowl and toss to coat in lime juice
Drain off and reserve lime juice
Mash avocados (using potato masher) with salt, cumin and cayenne
Fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro and garlic
Add 1 Tbsp of reserved lime juice
Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving

(Onion is a traditional ingredient in guacamole, but I don't use it because I think raw onion is too overpowering. If you want to use onion, I suggest red onion).
