Ingredients

  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 1 medium-sized tomato finely diced
  • 1/4 red onion about 1/4 cup, finely diced
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced or grated
  • 1 small or 1/2 large jalapeno, deseeded and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice the juice from 2 very juicy limes
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Using the back of a fork (or a potato masher), mash the avocados until they're broken down but not smooth.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, red onion, garlic, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
  • Serve!

Notes

If you have a really ripe avocado, mashing it won’t take much time or effort, but if your avocado is not quite ripe, it may take a little bit of extra effort on your part!
