In a small mixing bowl, add the lime juice, jalapeno, red onion, and minced garlic. Let the flavors blend while mashing the avocados. Set aside.
Slice the avocado in half. Remove the avocado pits and discard. Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado halves from the skin. Discard the skin and place the avocado halves in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Use a potato masher or fork to smash the avocados in the bowl until the texture of the avocado flesh is to your preference, either slightly chunky or mash until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the lime juice mixture to the smashed avocado. Stir in the black pepper, salt, and cumin to the guacamole.
Taste for seasoning, if needed adjust any spices.

Note 1: If you want more heat leave some seeds in the jalapenos.

Storage:

Serving guacamole as soon as you make it is best. It can be made slightly ahead of time and stored in a covered airtight container for one day.

It is best to place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the guacamole to keep it from browning.
