Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados

- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium roma tomato
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Juice the lime into the bowl with the avocado to prevent browning and add tangy flavor.
Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Dice the red onion and roma tomato into small pieces, and add to the avocado mixture.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired, and add to the bowl.
Grate or mince the garlic clove and mix it in with the rest of the ingredients.
Sprinkle in the kosher salt, ground black pepper, and optionally, ground cumin for an extra layer of flavor.
Mash the avocado mixture with a fork or potato masher until it reaches your desired consistency. Leave it chunky or make it smooth based on your preference.
Stir all ingredients together until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a side dish, or on top of your favorite dishes like tacos or burritos.
