total timeIngredients
1 large Roma tomato (seeded and diced)
3 ripe avocados
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ teaspoon EACH: salt, cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
1 Jalapeno pepper (seeded and finely diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
Directions
Place the diced tomatoes in between 2 paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
Slice each avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pits and scoop the pulp into a medium bowl. Add the lime juice and mash with a fork (or avocado masher), leaving some chunks for texture if preferred.
Add the salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper and stir until well combined.
Use a silicone spatula to incorporate the onions, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, and tomatoes.
Taste and season with a pinch more salt if desired.
Serve immediately, or cover tightly with saran wrap, removing any air, and let sit for 1 hour prior to serving. This allows the flavors to meld. Be sure to serve it with some salsa!
