1-Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl to get started on that smooth base.

2-Add the freshly squeezed juice from 1 lime right away to stop any browning and add that zesty pop.

3-Finely chop 1/4 cup of cilantro, mince 1 small garlic clove, and if you’re using it, chop 1 small jalapeño after seeding it, then toss them into the bowl.

4-Use a fork or food processor to mash everything together until it’s as smooth or chunky as you like it’s your call!

5-Season with salt and pepper to taste, and tweak the lime juice or jalapeño if you want more brightness or heat.

6-For any dietary tweaks, like adding plant-based yogurt, do that here to keep things adapted.

7-Finally, scoop it into a serving bowl, add a sprinkle of extra cilantro or lime wedges for flair, and pair it with chips or veggies. If you’re not eating it right away, pop it in the fridge and enjoy within 24 hours for the freshest taste.
