Ingredients:
- 3 large Hass avocados (approx. 600g), pitted and peeled
- 1/2 small white onion (50g), finely diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (15g), finely chopped with tender stems
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (30ml)
- 1 medium jalapeño (15g), finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (3g)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1g)
- 1/2 cup Roma tomato (60g), deseeded and diced
Instructions:
- Prep the aromatics. Place the 50g of diced white onion, 15g of minced jalapeño, 15g of chopped cilantro, and 3g of sea salt into your bowl.
- Bruise the base. Use the back of a fork to press the mixture against the side of the bowl for 1 minute. Note: You’ll see the onion turn slightly translucent and smell a massive wave of fragrance.
- Add the acid. Pour the 30ml of lime juice over the bruised aromatics and stir once. Note: This creates a seasoned liquid that will coat every piece of avocado.
- Prep the fruit. Slice the 3 avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl.
- Master the mash. Using a fork or masher, crush the avocado until about 70% is smooth. Stop when you see distinct, penny sized chunks.
- Add the extras. Toss in the 60g of diced Roma tomatoes and 1g of black pepper.
- Fold gently. Use a spatula or spoon to fold the tomatoes into the mash. Do not over mix or you'll lose the chunky texture.
- Final taste. Grab a chip and try it. Add a tiny pinch more salt if the flavors don't pop.
- Serve immediately. Transfer to a serving bowl and en
