Ingredients

  • 2 avocados cut into halves, pitted & peeled or flesh scooped out
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1-2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons onion chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño or serrano pepper chopped, seeds removed
  • 1 small tomato chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prep all ingredients.
  2. Bowl method: In a bowl, add avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and salt & pepper. Using a fork, mash into desired texture.Gently mix in onions, jalapeño pepper, and tomatoes. Taste and adjust if needed (e.g. add more of a certain ingredient). Serve immediately.
  3. Molcajete (pestle & mortar) method: add the cilantro, onion, jalapeño pepper, and salt & pepper to the molcajete. Grind it into a smooth paste. Add in the avocados and lime juice and mash them using the pestle (I like mine to be a bit chunky). Stir in the tomatoes (use a spoon). Taste and adjust if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This recipe is very flexible! Feel free to throw in another avocado if needed, and all ingredients can be adjusted to taste.
  • You can chop the ingredients as small/large as you'd like.
