Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro
- 1 piece, seeded and minced jalapeño pepper
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece, seeded and diced roma tomato
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl using a spoon.
Mash the avocados to your desired consistency using a fork or potato masher. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth.
Pour the fresh lime juice over the mashed avocados and mix thoroughly to combine. This will prevent the avocados from browning.
Add finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño pepper, and minced garlic to the avocado mixture.
Season the dip with salt and black pepper, adjusting according to your taste preference.
Gently fold in the diced roma tomato, being careful not to mash it too much.
Give the dip one final mix, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the avocado dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetable pieces, or as a topping for tacos.
