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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Dice the roma tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture.
Step 5
Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl, ensuring no seeds get in.
Step 6
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture, and drizzle with olive oil if desired for added richness.
Step 7
Gently mix all ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to overmix and break down the avocado too much.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper.
Step 9
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, over grilled chicken or fish, or as a taco topping for a vibrant and flavorful dish.
