Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mashed avocado to prevent browning and add a fresh flavor. Chop the cilantro and add it to the mixture. Combine the diced tomatoes and onions, then fold them into the avocado mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a spicy variation, finely chop a jalapeño and add it to the dip. Mix everything thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
