Prep Time

Total Time

Course: Dip
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 2 Servings
Ingredients
  • 3 T. chopped red onion
  • 1/2 t. minced Serrano chili or more, to taste
  • 1 1/2 t. finely chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 t. salt or more, to taste
  • 1 small ripe tomato
  • 1 ripe Hass avocado
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime
  • Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
  1. Mash 1 T. onion, fresh chile, 1/2 t. cilantro and salt in a bowl or Mexican lava stone molcajete.
  2. Squeeze the juice out of a tomato that has been cut into two halves and remove seeds. Chop the pulp. Add to the bowl with the onion mixture.
  3. Cut the ripe avocado in half. Use a sharp knife to slice the avocado of both halves lengthwise, then crosswise, cutting down to the skin, to form a grid. Scoop the avocado into the bowl with the other ingredients.
  4. Add the remaining onion and cilantro to the bowl along with the juice of 1/2 a lime and gently mix.
  5. Season with more chili and salt to taste. Garnish with extra tomato, cilantro and thinly-sliced red onion.
  6. Serve at once with tortilla chips
Recipe Notes

I used a jalapeño chile in my guacamole rather than a Serrano chile.
