Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add the lime juice to the avocados and mix well to prevent browning, ensuring the avocados are well coated.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
Dice the red onion finely and add to the mixture. Mince the garlic clove and include it in the bowl as well.
Add cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to the mixture.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dip chilled with vegetables, tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos and other dishes.
