List of Ingredients

2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
1/2 small beefsteak tomato, coarsely chopped
2 scallions, chopped
1/2- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4- 1/2 jalapeno pepper or chipotle chile, finely minced (optional)
5 cilantro sprigs, for garnish
2 very thin slices lime, for garnish




Recipe

Place all the ingredients, except the lime slices, in a bowl and toss gently to mix. Do not overmix; the blend should be somewhat chunky.

Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or place avocado pits in the guacamole (to prevent discoloration), cover, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

Serve garnished with the cilantro sprigs and lime slices.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
