Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the skin. Cut the avocado flesh into large chunks (about 1-inch pieces).
Peel and finely mince the garlic.
Juice the lime and set the juice aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the avocado chunks to the skillet in a single layer. Let them sear for about 1 minute on one side without stirring, so they develop a slightly golden crust.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper over the avocados. Gently turn the avocado pieces using a spatula to cook the other side for another minute, being careful not to mash them.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the lime juice over the sautéed avocados for a fresh, tangy flavor.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
