How to make it
- Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a wide bowl. Add the lime juice right away to keep the color bright and the flesh from browning.
- Mash the avocado with a fork to your preferred texture, leaving it slightly chunky rather than completely smooth.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and a good pinch of salt until evenly distributed.
- Fold in the red onion, jalapeno, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro gently so the avocado does not turn to paste.
- Taste and adjust with more lime juice or salt as needed; the dip should be tangy and well seasoned.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface if not serving immediately, then serve at room temperature with tortilla chips or alongside tacos.
