Instructions:
- Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh out into a bowl using a spoon.
- 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.
- Red Hot Chili Peppers: Wash the chili peppers, cut off the stems, and finely chop them. For a milder dip, you can remove the seeds before chopping.
- 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.
- Pour the lime juice over the combined ingredients. This will not only add flavor but also help prevent the avocados from browning.
- Gently mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-mix to maintain the chunkiness of the dip.
- Taste the dip and add salt and pepper to preference. You might also opt to add more lime juice or chili peppers according to your taste preference.
- Transfer the chunky dip to a serving bowl. It's best served immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
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.
