Instructions

Step 0 of 6 completed

Start by slicing the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Mash the avocados with a fork until you achieve your desired level of creaminess—leave a few chunks for texture if you like!

Add the diced red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, sea salt, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes to the bowl.

Gently fold everything together until well combined, tasting as you go to adjust seasoning if needed.

Finally, stir in the minced cilantro, mixing just enough to distribute it evenly throughout.

Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips or use it as a topping for tacos or burritos!
