Ingredients
- 4 medium avocados (about 2 lbs)
- 1 lime or lemon
- 1 white onion small
- 1 Roma tomato (plum), seeded and chopped
- 2-3 serrano chilis seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, slice the avocados in half, circling the pit. Open and on the pit half, either remove using a spoon or wedge knife blade into the pit and twist to remove. Scoop the flesh from the skin and place in medium bowl. Discard pit and skins.
- Slice lime or lemon (my preference) and squeeze a half (at least 2 tablespoons) over avocados and gently mash. Season to taste with salt and more citrus juice to desired taste. Set aside.
- Dice the onion into small 1/8 to 1/4 inch pieces. Rinse under water in strainer and shake excess off. Transfer to mashed avocado bowl and add the tomato, chilis and cilantro.
- Gently fold everything together, season to taste again and serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips or as a condiment with tacos or grilled meats.
