			In a large bowl, mash the avocados with a fork, potato dish masher, or other hand implement until the mixture is generally smooth, but with some chunks left for texture. Add the tomato, onion, and the chile, if using, and mix thoroughly Season with the garlic and with salt and black pepper (if used) to taste. Use a mortar and pestle, if you have one, to blend these seasoning ingredients before adding them. Add the lime or lemon juice and mix well. Serve the guacamole within 2 hours of preparing it.
