Cut open the avocado from stem to end going through the avocado flesh to the pit. Twist and separate the halves. Remove the seed and scoop the avocado out and onto a cutting board. Dice the avocado into ½" pieces and place in a medium size mixing bowl.
2 ripe avocados
Thinly slice the pointed end of the jalapeño pepper (less seeds) until you have enough for garnish. Cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds (leave them in for more heat/spice). Dice the remaining pepper into ¼" dice. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of the diced jalapeño pepper to the bowl of avocado and reserve the rest to add later if needed. Reserve the slices for garnish.
1 jalapeño pepper
Chop the Roma tomatoes into ¼-½" dice and add to the bowl, reserve 1-2 Tablespoons for garnish. Dice the onion into ¼'½" dice and all but 1-2 Tablespoons to the bowl. Reserve the remaining onions for garnish.
2 Roma tomatoes, ½ medium red onion
Juice half of the lime (about 1 Tablespoon) into the bowl. Keep the other half to add later if needed. Add ¼ teaspoon of fine grind sea salt or kosher salt and gently mix with a fork. If you want the avocado smoother, press down with the fork.
1 lime, ¼-½ teaspoon fine grind sea salt
Taste for seasonings and add more salt if needed. Taste on a tortilla chip if that is how you are serving it to make sure you don't over salt.
Chop the cilantro and add about 3 Tablespoons to the bowl and reserve a few leaves (whole or chopped) for garnish.
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Mix together and taste again. Add hot sauce, lime juice or more jalapeno if needed.
1-2 teaspoons cholula or your favorite hot sauce
Mix and transfer to a serving bowl. See recipe notes if you aren't serving it right away. Garnish with onions, sliced jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve & Enjoy!
