Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe Hass avocados
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground cumin optional
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, seeded and diced optional
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
  • Add lime juice and mash with a fork until mostly smooth with some small chunks.
  • Stir in red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic until evenly combined.
  • Season with salt, cumin, and black pepper. Fold in diced tomato, if using.
  • Taste and adjust lime and salt to preference. Serve immediately or cover tightly and chill for up to 1 day.

Notes

For the brightest color, press plastic wrap directly against the surface to minimize browning. For extra heat, keep some jalapeño seeds or swap in serrano.
