Step 0 of 6 completed

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.

Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired creaminess—smooth or chunky, it's up to you!

Add the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, diced jalapeño, sea salt, and ground cumin (if using) to the bowl.

Mix everything together gently until well combined, tasting as you go to adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.

If you choose to add tomatoes, fold in the diced Roma tomatoes now for a fresh burst of flavor.

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or store in an airtight container, pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
