Instructions:

- Tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes and remove the cores. Chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Red Onion: Peel and finely chop the half red onion.

- Lime: Squeeze the lime to get 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the avocado chunks. Use a fork to mash the avocado slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, red onion, and chili peppers to the bowl with the avocados.

Chunky dip FAQ:
You can store the chunky dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. After that, the avocados may begin to brown and the freshness will diminish.
If you don't have lime juice, you can substitute it with lemon juice for a similar zesty flavor. Vinegar can also be used, but it will alter the taste slightly.
To make the dip milder, you can remove the seeds from the red hot chili peppers before chopping them. Alternatively, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or use a milder pepper variety.
Hass avocados are recommended for this dip as they are creamy and have a rich flavor, which complements the other ingredients well.
It's best to prepare the chunky dip shortly before serving to enjoy its freshness. However, if you need to make it in advance, store it in an airtight container and add lime juice right before serving to help prevent browning.
Cooking Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure for the best creamy texture.
- To easily dice the tomatoes, remove the seeds first to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
- Wear gloves when chopping hot chili peppers to avoid irritation, and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder spice level.
- Add the lime juice immediately after dicing the avocados to prevent them from browning.
- For a more intense flavor, let the dip sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
