Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 medium fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bag (about 10 oz) sturdy tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Fresh Ingredients: Begin by dicing ripe avocados, tomatoes, and red onion into small, even pieces. Mince the jalapeño finely, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Chop fresh cilantro and squeeze fresh lime for juice.
  2. Combine Ingredients in a Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the avocado, tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Pour in the lime juice evenly, and stir carefully to combine all fresh ingredients without mashing the avocado too much.
  3. Season Carefully: Add salt and freshly cracked black pepper gradually, tasting as you go, until the salsa is perfectly balanced. Proper seasoning enhances all the fresh flavors and ties everything together.
  4. Chill and Serve with Tortilla Chips: Refrigerate the salsa for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled alongside crispy tortilla chips for scooping up this creamy, zesty delight effortlessly.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal creaminess and flavor.
  • Prepare the salsa just before serving to avoid browning.
  • Lime juice is essential to keep the avocado from browning and adds bright tanginess.
  • Gently fold ingredients instead of stirring vigorously to preserve chunky texture.
  • Adjust jalapeño quantity to control spice level according to taste.
  • Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips that hold up well without breaking when dipped.
