Recipe

Total Time: 20 min

Servings: 6

Ingredients

1.5 cup white onion, minced

1.5 cup roma tomato, minced

1 cup cilantro leaves, minced

1 cup green onion, minced

6 hass ripe avocados

1-2 tbsp jalapeño, minced

2 tsp salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp lime juice

Steps

1. Cut avocados lengthwise around the seed. Open the 2 sides of each avocado, exposing the pits

2. Use a spoon to scoop out the pit

3. With a small knife gently make cuts in the avocado flesh in a cross-hatch pattern (Don't brake through the avocado peel)

4. Scoop out the avocado pieces with a spoon and place them in a large bowl.  Place a few pits in  the bowl so the avocado doesn't turn brown

5. With the exception of the jalapeños, add all other ingredients and mash with a potato masher or thoroughly mix with a fork

6. There's plenty of variation among individual jalapeños. Some are hotter. Start adding the jalapeños little by little. Thoroughly mix and taste before adding any more

7. Accompany with corn chips
