Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1-2 fresh jalapeños (adjust based on heat preference)
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Slice the jalapeños in half, remove the seeds (for less heat), and chop them finely.
- Mash the Avocados: Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency—smooth or chunky.
- Mix Everything Together: Add the chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, lime juice, and cilantro (if using) to the mashed avocado. Stir until well combined.
- Season: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the lime juice and jalapeño based on your flavor preferences.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos and sandwiches.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding diced tomatoes or a dash of cumin.
- If you want to make it ahead of time, store the dip in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to minimize browning.
Enjoy this delicious and versatile dip at your next gathering or as a quick snack at home!
