Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 2 whole jalapenos
- 4 stalks scallions (green onions)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill pan or open flame to high heat.
Step 2
Place the whole jalapenos and scallions onto the grill or directly over the flame, turning occasionally, until they are lightly charred and softened (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
Once cool enough to handle, finely chop the charred jalapenos and scallions. Remove the seeds from the jalapenos if you prefer less heat.
Step 4
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 5
Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher to your desired level of smoothness. Leave it slightly chunky for texture.
Step 6
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Step 7
Juice the lime and add the fresh lime juice to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Add the chopped charred jalapenos, scallions, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Step 10
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggies, or as a topping for tacos and other dishes. Enjoy!
