Concasse the tomato, skin it and dice the tomato to the thickness of the tomato. Usually around pea size (sm dice). 6ts of cilantro equals 2TB packed. Prepare cilantro as a fine chop. Some people tend to not like strong cilantro flavors you would get from a coarse chop. For the garlic toss a good pinch coarse sea salt and turn the garlic into a paste by working the garlic into a paste via smearing it into the cutting board with the flat heel of the blade. Toast cummin seeds before grinding. You don't want to miss out on this flavor. Dry toast over a med heat till the first seed "pops" and remove then grind. Ground pepper shouldnt be too noticable, but adding a decent amount of salt (approx 1ts +) will make the flavors pop out with a smooth but distinguishable contrast. All mashing can be done the "right" way by mashing in a large mortar and pestle with avocados mashed last. Overall if the dip is too chunky scooping it out will be a little more cumbersome.
