Murakami Guacamole

3 Haas avocados, pitted and peeled
1 roma tomato, seeded and diced (cut off top and squeeze tomato to de-seed!)
1/4 onion, finely chopped
1/2 lime
Handful of cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

basically just make sure you keep the avocados with lime juice on top to keep them from browning. only end up using about 1/2 of a lime, or about 2 tbs of lime juice. combine ingredients, you may need to mash avocados more if they are hard, but make sure to keep some chunks. add the cilantro, freshly chopped, last, along with salt and pepper to bring out all the flavors. If you let the guac sit for up to 1/2 hr and let the flavors combine, then that's even better!!

You can also add cumin, cayanne pepper, and garlic... but I don't... we didn't... I think simpler is better.
