Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 medium fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño or mild chili, minced (seeds removed if less heat desired)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Halve, pit, and scoop the ripe avocados into a mixing bowl. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Chop the Vegetables: Dice the tomatoes and red onion finely. Mince the jalapeño, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: Add the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to the mashed avocado. Pour in fresh lime juice and gently mix everything together.

  5. Serve with Tortilla Chips: Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and surround with your favorite crunchy tortilla chips. Ready to dip and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for creamy texture.
  • Always use fresh lime juice to brighten flavors and prevent browning.
  • Start with a small amount of jalapeño and add more gradually to adjust spice level.
  • Let the salsa chill for 10-15 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
  • Stir gently to keep avocado chunks intact for pleasing texture contrast.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to prevent browning.
