Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. finely chopped onion
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • 1 ancho pepper seeded and diced small
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin
  • 2 avocados
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice or the juice of one lime
  • 1-2 roma tomatoes seeded and diced small
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Find a medium bowl and stir together the onions, garlic, pepper, salt, and cumin.
  • Cut open the avocados, and place the flesh into a separate bowl. Mash the avocados to desired consistency. I like mine a little lumpy, not completely smooth. Pour the lime juice over the avocados and stir it in.
  • Stir mashed avocados gently into the onion mixture. Fold in tomatoes and cilantro. Serve immediately. **
  • Serve with whole grain tortilla chips or pita chips.
