Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocado
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Juice the lime and add the lime juice to the bowl with the avocado. This will help prevent the avocado from browning and add a nice tangy flavor.
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency. You can leave it a bit chunky or make it completely smooth.
Add sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the avocado mash for an added burst of flavor.
Taste the avocado mash and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface of the mash to prevent browning and refrigerate until ready to serve.
