Ingredients

2 large avocados ripe
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or lemon juice
⅓ teaspoon salt or more to taste
3 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
½ ripe tomato chopped (optional)
2 jalapeño or serrano chilis chopped (optional)

Instructions

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
Slice the flesh of the avocado into dice. It's safer to do this with a blunt knife.
With a spoon, scoop out the avocado from its shell and add it to a bowl.
Add lime juice, salt and mash the avocado with a fork. Don't over-mash it, some avocado bits are fine.
Add chopped onions, chopped cilantro, and stir. Optionally you can add chopped tomatoes and jalapeños.
Taste and adjust for salt and lime juice. Serve with tortilla chips, nachos, fajitas, and tacos, or see our serving suggestions chapter above for more serving ideas.
