- 1/2 small onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lime, juiced

Instructions
- Prepare the Tomatoes: Slice each cherry tomato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon, creating a hollow cavity for the guacamole.
