Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole avocados
- 2 whole roma tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to gently mash the avocados, leaving some chunks for texture.
Dice the roma tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño pepper, ensuring you remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat if preferred. Add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture.
Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl, ensuring no seeds get in.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture, and drizzle with olive oil if desired for added richness.
Gently mix all ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to overmix and break down the avocado too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, over grilled chicken or fish, or as a taco topping for a vibrant and flavorful dish.
