Ingredients

• 3 ripe avocados
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

1. Halve the avocados, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2. Add the lime juice and salt and mash with a fork, leaving plenty of chunks.
3. Fold in the onion, jalapeño, tomato and cilantro.
4. Taste and add more salt or lime as needed.
5. Serve right away with tortilla chips.

Why this recipe works

Mashing the avocado with lime and salt first seasons it evenly, while leaving chunks keeps the texture fresh. Lime juice also slows browning.

Tips, substitutions & storage

• Swap: Use lemon juice instead of lime.
• Swap: Add diced mango or roasted corn for a twist; leave out the jalapeño for a mild version.
• Soaking diced onion in cold water for 5 minutes softens its bite.
• To store, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface; it keeps 1 day in the fridge.
• Unripe avocados ripen in 1 to 2 days in a paper bag with a banana.
