Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh jalapano or more to taste, finely chopped
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 whole lime cut in wedges (use half the lime or to taste)

Instructions

  • Slice avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit using a teaspoon (safer) or large sharp knife.
  • Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl then use a fork to mash to desired consistency (I like chunky mash texture).
  • Add finely minced red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic powder, black pepper and a good pinch of sea salt. Give it a good squeeze of fresh lime juice (love mine X limey!) then stir everything together.
  • Taste and adjust lime and salt to your preference. Serve it up with your favorite tortilla chips.
