Ingredients

• 2 whole avocado
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 whole lime
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the skin. Cut the avocado flesh into large chunks (about 1-inch pieces).

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic.

Step 3

Juice the lime and set the juice aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.

Step 6

Add the avocado chunks to the skillet in a single layer. Let them sear for about 1 minute on one side without stirring, so they develop a slightly golden crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper over the avocados. Gently turn the avocado pieces using a spatula to cook the other side for another minute, being careful not to mash them.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the lime juice over the sautéed avocados for a fresh, tangy flavor.

Step 9

Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
