- 4 ripe avocadoes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 minced fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and membrane removed
- juice of ½ a lime

Instructions
- Prepare avocadoes by cutting in half around the pit lengthwise from top to bottom and pull the halves apart. Holding the side with the pit in the palm of your hand tap the blade of the knife in the pit until it is partially stuck. Twist until the pit comes out on the blade and discard. One at a time, place half of the avocado in the palm of your hand and make slices in the meat. Careful not to go too deeply and cut your hand. Then cut cross wise as well to create 1 inch cubes. Use a large spoon to scoop out the meat into a medium bowl.
- Add the lime juice, jalapeno and salt to the avocado. Using a fork mash and mix until somewhat smooth with a few chunks.
- Stir in the cilantro and tomatoes.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
