Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the lime juice to the bowl to prevent browning and to enhance the flavor.
Use a fork to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Leave it chunkier for a rustic texture or mash it smoother if you prefer.
Fold in the red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and minced garlic for added flavor and texture.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then gently mix everything together.
If desired, add diced tomatoes for added flavor and visual appeal, folding them in carefully to avoid over-mixing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled dishes.
