🍴 Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)
• Juice of 1 lime

🔥 Instructions

Prep the Avocados:
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash to your preferred texture—chunky or smooth.

Add the Flavor:
Stir in the diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped tomatoes, and jalapeño. Mix gently to combine.

Season and Brighten:
Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well blended.
