Halve and pit the avocados. Immediately sprinkle the flesh with lemon juice. Grate the onion into the bowl and stir well.

Stir in the chopped tomato, jalapeno, and cilantro. Taste for seasoning, add more salt or black pepper if you like, and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture, refrigerate for 10 minutes so the flavors mellow, and serve with chips or crackers.
