1 Mixing bowl
1 Fork or potato masher
1 Spoon
1 Lime Juicer
- 2 ripe avocados - ripe and soft to the touch
- 1 lime - juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt - adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder - optional
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes - optional, for heat
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired creaminess.
Add the lime juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Mix everything well until combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or store for later.
For a spicier version, add minced jalapeño or red pepper flakes. You can also mix in some finely chopped red onion or garlic for extra flavor.
Store any leftover spread in an airtight container, pressing a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding ingredients like cilantro or a pinch of cumin for an extra kick!
