Turn on the food processor and drop the garlic and jalapeño in while the machine is running. Leave it running until they're as fine as possible.

Add 1 of the avocados and the lime juice. Process the mixture until it's completely smooth. Scrape the puree out into a medium bowl.

Add the other 2 avocados and mash them coarsely with a fork. Stir in the tomato, onions, scallions, cilantro, cumin, pepper and salt to taste and mix thoroughly. Cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap, let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour, and haul in that wheelbarrow of tortilla chips.

Makes about 6 cups.
