3.In another bowl, peel and cut avocados into chunks and mash them with a fork or potato masher until you get a fine paste.
4.Peel and finely chop the red onion. In a small frying pan, toast cumin seeds over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, approximately 3-4 minutes.
5.Mix in 1 teaspoon of toast cumin seeds, 3 teaspoons lemon juice, and hot sauce to taste into the mashed avocado mixture. Season it with salt and pepper.
