03 - In a separate bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to make the salsa. Stir well.

05 - Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The two-layer approach keeps the guacamole bright green and the salsa perfectly chunky until everyone digs in
- Takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, which is exactly how much time you have before guests arrive
02 -
- Mash the avocados while the lime juice is already coating them, not before, or you will end up with brown spots before the game even starts
- Let the salsa sit for at least 5 minutes so the flavors can hang out together before layering it on top
03 -
- Keep one avocado pit in the guacamole bowl if you are storing it overnight, it actually does help slow down browning
- Make sure your tortilla chips are thick enough to scoop up both layers without breaking under the weight
