Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 small jalapeno
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Roughly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Finely chop the red onion and jalapeno. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
Add the chopped onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, and cilantro to the avocados.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the avocado mixture. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas one at a time, for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable and slightly charred.
Take warmed tortillas and fill them with the avocado mixture.
Garnish with additional cilantro leaves or a lime wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
