Ingredients
- 4 avocados
- 2 tablespoons pico de gallo
- Juice of ½ lime
- 2 chopped Jalapeño OR 2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper OR 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1 minced jalapeño OR 2 minced serrano chiles OR 2 tablespoon minced of any chile pepper like (adjust for spiciness)
Method
- Halve and pit the avocados.
- Score the avocado flesh in a criss-cross pattern without cutting through the skin.
- Scoop out the flesh of one half with a large spoon and place in mixing bowl.
- Add the lime juice and stir to evenly coat the avocados.
- Stir in the pico de gallo, garlic, oil, jalapeño, salt, red pepper, and black pepper, mashing and tossing the avocado pieces until thoroughly mixed.
