INGREDIENTS

Vegetables
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh serrano chili
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 🧅 ¼ cup finely diced white onion
- 🧂 ½ teaspoon kosher salt for grinding vegetables, plus more to taste
- 🍅 1 cup diced ripe tomatoes, drained
Fruits
- 🥑 4 large Hass avocados
- 1 lime, juiced, or more to taste

STEPS

Place minced peppers, 1/4 cup of the chopped cilantro, and the diced onions on a cutting board. Chop them together into very small pieces. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Using the flat side of the knife blade, smear the mixture to work it into a paste, and chop again to achieve as fine a texture as possible.

Stem, halve, and pit the avocados. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, onion and serrano mixture, salt, and fresh lime juice. Mash with a potato masher to desired texture (smooth or chunky). Taste and adjust seasonings. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate.
