-
Halve the avocados, remove the stones and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Mash with a fork or in a molcajete, leaving a few small pieces for a rustic texture.

Immediately mix in the lime juice and salt to season the avocado and help preserve its colour.
-
Finely chop the onion, deseeded tomato, cilantro and jalapeño. Remove the jalapeño seeds for milder heat.
