Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 1 large roma tomato
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup cotija cheese
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until it's mostly smooth but still has a few chunks for texture.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze out the juice over the mashed avocado. Add the salt and stir to combine.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the avocado mixture.
Deseed the jalapeño pepper, finely chop it, and add it to the bowl as well.
Chop the cilantro leaves and the roma tomato finely, then mix them into the guacamole base.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice to your taste.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and warm up the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Spoon a generous amount of guacamole onto each tortilla, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Sprinkle cotija cheese over the guacamole layer in each taco.
Fold the tortillas in half to form tacos, and serve them immediately.
Garnish with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus.
