Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Mash avocados with a fork until chunky (or smooth if you prefer). Leave some texture.

  3. Step 3

    Squeeze lime juice over the avocado immediately to prevent browning.

    Fold in onion, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, and pepper until combined.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and adjust lime juice, salt, or jalapeño heat as needed. Serve immediately.
