Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Fork or potato masher

Instructions

  1. Mash the onion, jalapeño, half the cilantro and the salt together in the bowl with a fork to release their flavor.

  2. Halve the avocados, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Add the lime juice and mash, leaving plenty of chunks.

  3. Fold in the rest of the cilantro and the tomato, if using. Taste and add more salt or lime until it tastes bright.

Notes

  • A ripe avocado yields to gentle pressure near the stem.
  • To store, press plastic wrap right onto the surface; it keeps a day in the fridge. Any browning on top is harmless; stir it in or scrape it off.
