1
Dice the tomato into petite cubes.
-
2
Finely chop the onion slices.
-
3
Select a pepper with a rounded end.
-
4
This gives you more flavor with less fire.
-
5
Finely dice the outside flesh only (no seeds or seed bed).
-
6
Cut the avocado in half with a sharp knife, removing the pits and any brown areas.
-
7
Scoop out the flesh, scraping the inside of the skin to get all of the soft green flesh.
-
8
Add all of those ingredients into a rounded bowl and smash all pieces of the avacado with a fork.
-
9
They should be firm, but not resistant.
-
10
If they are too resistant either your fork is cheap or your avocado is not yet ripe and you are wasting your time.
-
11
Add the salt and chili powder and stir the ingredients together.
-
12
Finally add the lime juice.
-
13
Fresh juice is fine, but bottled or juice from a plastic lime works just as well.
-
14
Blend ingredients together with a fork adding more lime juice as needed to ensure proper consistency.
-
15
Its ready to eat now.
-
16
But it will be better if you place it in a small container (less air) and refrigerate it for an hour or so to let the flavors enjoy each other.
-
17
Then you can really enjoy it!
-
18
The exact quantities arent nearly as important as using a good ripe avocado, good ripe tomato and good sweet onion.
-
19
This is great for a cold snack or appetizer with a nice cold drink or to serve on shredded lettuce for a complete, healty meal.
