Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 1 cup Canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin (optional)

Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Add the rinsed and drained garbanzo beans to the bowl with the avocados.
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados and garbanzo beans together until they are well combined but still slightly chunky. If you prefer a smoother texture, use a food processor for this step.
Stir in the fresh lime juice and minced garlic to the avocado and garbanzo mixture.
Mix in the chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño (if using), salt, and ground cumin (if using). Taste and adjust the salt and lime juice to your preference.
Fold in the diced cherry tomatoes and red onion until evenly combined.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos, toast, or salads.
