Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork or a potato masher until it reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Add the chopped onion, minced serrano chilies, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
If using, add the chopped tomato.
Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetables, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.

For best results, use ripe avocados. They should yield gently to pressure.
Adjust the amount of serrano chilies to control the spice level.
Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the guacamole from browning.
Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize browning.
