…and gently incorporate into the mixture in the bowl. (Or mash it up more if you want creamier guacamole.)

Cubes of avocado are mixed in with the mashed avocado.

Add freshly ground pepper and Aleppo pepper (if desired) to taste.

Put this condiment on any and everything, or just serve it with some crudités. Here’s some guacamole with slices of fresh jicama:

Alternatively, make a splash by topping your guacamole with lump crab meat and finely cubed apple!
