  • 3- 4 ripe avocados

  • 1 tomato finely chopped
  • ½ red onion finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅓ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 pinches of salt

Instructions

  • Peel the avocados, remove the pits, and cut into small cubes. Place them in a bowl.
  • Add the chopped cilantro, garlic, red onion, pepper, and tomato.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil and lime juice, then sprinkle with salt and paprika. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
  • Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips or on tacos and burritos.

Notes

The texture of the salsa will depend on how ripe the avocados are. Riper avocados will make the salsa creamier and more blended.
This is best served the day it is made. You can store the leftovers in an airtight container for 2 days however the avocados might get discolored.
