Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1 whole jalapeño pepper in the skillet and roast, turning occasionally for 5-6 minutes until the skin blisters and blackens. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes. Peel off skin, remove seeds, and finely chop the jalapeño.
  2. Step 2: Cut 3 medium ripe avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a medium bowl. Add 3 tbsp fresh lime juice and mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tsp salt, 1 minced small garlic clove, 1 finely chopped small tomato, and the chopped roasted jalapeño. Mix gently to combine and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if desired.
