Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and minced jalapeño. Take care when stirring to keep the avocado pieces chunky rather than mushy.
- Add Flavorings: Add the chopped fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir gently to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the salsa.
- Adjust Seasoning and Chill: Taste the salsa and adjust the salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed. Cover the bowl and chill the salsa for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Serve the avocado salsa chilled alongside your favorite tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy immediately for best freshness.
Notes
- For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
- This salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a few hours by pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to help prevent browning.
