Guacamole Con Pico de Gallo

Ingredients

Ripe avocados

3 large, halved and pitted

Tomatoes

2 medium, diced

Red onion

1/2 small, finely chopped

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Lime juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Salt

1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon

Tortilla chips

1 bag, for serving

Instructions

1. Begin by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
2. Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).
3. Add the diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and garlic powder to the bowl.
4. Gently mix all the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to over-mash the tomatoes to maintain their freshness.
5. Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
6. Serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips. If preparing ahead of time, cover the guacamole with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
