Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 whole medium tomato
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork, ensuring it's smooth yet leaves some small chunks for texture.
Dice the tomato, ensuring you discard the seeds to prevent excess moisture, and add it to the bowl with the mashed avocado.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro and add them to the mixing bowl.
Cut the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds and ribs to reduce heat (if desired), then finely chop it. Add to the bowl.
Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Be careful to remove any seeds.
Add the garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Gently stir all ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately with whole-grain chips, vegetable sticks, or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
