slice avocado in half, remove pit, set pit aside

scoop out avocado into a bowl.

dice tomato, add to avocado

zest the lime into the bowl with avocado and tomato

rough chop the cilantro and add to the mixture

add remaining spices (amount of salt can be altered for taste preference)

slice lime in half and squeeze juice from both halves into the mixture

mix well. I use a fork to leave the guacamole chunky, but you can certainly put this in the food processor if you like it creamier.

when done mixing, return the pits to the guacamole. They keep it from turning brown as quickly... Neat trick
