Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 2 whole jalapenos
- 4 stalks scallions (green onions)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or open flame to high heat.
Place the whole jalapenos and scallions onto the grill or directly over the flame, turning occasionally, until they are lightly charred and softened (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, finely chop the charred jalapenos and scallions. Remove the seeds from the jalapenos if you prefer less heat.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher to your desired level of smoothness. Leave it slightly chunky for texture.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Juice the lime and add the fresh lime juice to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the chopped charred jalapenos, scallions, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggies, or as a topping for tacos and other dishes. Enjoy!
