Whole Foods Market's Guacamole

1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped
¼ cup chopped cilantro, or to taste
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
½ lime, juiced
4-5 ripe avocadoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Combine all the ingredients except the avocadoes, and set aside for the flavors to begin to blend while you prepare the avocadoes. Slice each avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, scoop out the pulp, and roughly mash with a fork, taking care to leave whole chunks. Fold the avocadoes into the onion/pepper mixture, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
