Instructions
Prepare the Avocados
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Add the lime juice immediately to prevent browning.
Mash the Base
Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Some people prefer chunky and some prefer smooth.
Add the Mix-ins
Fold in the diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Season and Serve
Add the kosher salt and taste, adjusting seasoning as needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
