Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados – Creamy and buttery, the star of the dish.
- ¼ cup diced red onion – Adds sweetness and crunch.
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped – Brings a fresh, herby flavor.
- Zest and juice of 2 limes – Adds tang and prevents browning.
- 1 small jalapeño, diced – Optional for a spicy kick.
- ½ teaspoon sea salt – Enhances all the flavors.
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional) – Adds a warm, earthy note.
- 1–2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced (optional) – For extra juiciness and texture.
Instructions
- Prep the avocados: Cut them in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
