Ingredients

• 2 whole ripe avocados
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the lime juice immediately to the avocado to prevent browning and to enhance flavor.

Step 3

Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother spread, mash until there are no large chunks remaining.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the mashed avocado to add creaminess and richness.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, and fold them gently into the mixture until well incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped cilantro, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the spread.

Step 7

Add the red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.

Step 8

Once combined, taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary with more lime juice, salt, or pepper.

Step 9

Transfer the avocado spread into a serving dish and cover tightly with plastic wrap by pressing it directly onto the surface to minimize exposure to air.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, spread on toast, or as a condiment for sandwiches.
