Ingredients

  • 3 medium to large avocados pitted and peeled
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 small tomatoes (we like Roma) deseeded and chopped

Instructions

Prepare avocados
    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice avocados in half around the pit. Using a knife (don't hold the avocado in the palm of your hand for this!), carefully remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh, and add to a mixing bowl.
Mash
  1. Use a fork or potato masher to mash avocados, until desired consistency is reached.
Mix
  1. Add onion powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, lime juice, minced cilantro, and chopped tomatoes.
  2. Stir well to combine. Taste, and adjust seasoning levels (or cilantro/lime levels), if needed.
Serve
  1. Garnish with additional cilantro and/or tomatoes if desired, then serve.

Notes

  • This recipe makes approximately 1.5 cups (but this will vary, depending on the size of the avocados, and how much flesh they have).
  • I've estimated that this recipe serves 6, but feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
