Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoons chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds if a milder spice level is desired, and add it to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixing bowl.
Zest the lime for an extra pop of flavor and set the zest aside for garnish. Then, cut the lime in half and squeeze its fresh juice into the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the avocado mixture.
Add the salt, cumin powder, and chili flakes to the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients and mash everything together with a fork or potato masher until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the reserved lime zest on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a side dish for tacos or sandwiches.
