How to make it
- Halve the avocados, twist apart, remove the stones and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl, discarding any browned or fibrous patches.
- Mash the avocado with a fork to your preferred texture, leaving a few chunks for body rather than working it completely smooth.
- Finely mince the garlic, deseed and finely chop the red chillies, and finely dice the red onion, then stir them through the avocado.
- Add the lime juice immediately and fold it in well, as the acid both brightens the flavour and slows the avocado from browning.
- Gently fold in the diced tomato and chopped coriander so the tomato stays intact and the mixture does not turn watery.
- Season with salt to taste, then taste and adjust with more lime or chilli, balancing the richness, acidity and heat.
- Press a sheet of cling film directly onto the surface and chill for up to 30 minutes, then serve fresh with warm tortilla chips.
Ingredient substitutions
- Lime
- lemon
