- 1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced

- Frozen peas
- 1 cup, thawed
- Ripe avocados

Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the ripe avocados and thawed peas. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Transfer the avocado-pea mixture to a large bowl. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Fold in the diced tomato and finely chopped jalapeno. Be gentle to maintain the tomatoes' structure and ensure a chunky texture.

Tips
- If you prefer a spicier guacamole, leave some seeds in the jalapeno before chopping it, or add a second jalapeno.
- For a chunkier guacamole, pulse the avocado and peas just a few times in the food processor instead of blending until completely smooth.
