Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 3 ripe avocados
- Juice of 1 to 2 limes
- 1/2 small white onion, very finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño or serrano chili, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 ripe tomato, seeded and diced
- Small bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 bag (about 300 g) tortilla chips, to serve
Step by step
Step 1: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Step 2: Add the juice of 1 lime and the salt, then mash with a fork or potato masher. Leave it a little chunky for the best texture.
Step 3: Stir in the onion, chili, tomato and most of the cilantro.
Step 4: Taste and add more lime juice or salt until the flavor is bright and lively.
Step 5: Spoon into a serving bowl, scatter the rest of the cilantro on top and serve right away with tortilla chips.
Step 6: To keep leftovers green, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
