Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados, they should yield to gentle pressure
- 2 tbsp lime juice, from about 1 lime, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ cup white onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced (optional)
- tortilla chips, for serving
Steps
- Cut each avocado in half around the pit and twist apart. Carefully remove the pit with a spoon, then scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
- Add the lime juice and salt and mash with a potato masher or fork, leaving it a little chunky.
- Fold in the onion, jalapeño, cilantro and tomato.
- Taste with a chip and add more salt or lime until it's bright and well seasoned. Serve right away.
Tip: Wash your hands after handling jalapeño and don't touch your eyes. Leave in some seeds for extra heat.
Tip: Never try to stab a pit with the knife while holding the avocado in your hand. Scoop it out with a spoon instead.
Storage: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to keep it green and refrigerate up to 1 day. Scrape off any browned top layer before serving.
