Ingredients
1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons serrano chiles, chopped with seeds
4 tablespoons sweet onion, chopped
1/4 cup water
Salt to taste
Directions
Combine the peeled avocado, chopped cilantro, chopped serrano chiles, and diced sweet onion in a blender.
Puree the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Slowly add the fresh lime juice while blending, then gradually add the water, continuing to puree until you reach your desired consistency. Add additional water or lime juice as needed to achieve your preferred thickness.
Season with salt to taste and blend briefly to combine.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at Charlotte groceries—avocados, cilantro, limes, serranos, and onions are all standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart year-round. At roughly $1.50 per avocado, $0.50 for cilantro, $0.30 per lime, and $0.50 for a serrano, you're looking at under $4 total, or about $1 per serving, making this genuinely cheap. The stated 5 minutes is honest; this is bare-bones chopping and mixing with zero cooking. It's a dip or side, not a meal, and leftovers don't really work—guacamole oxidizes within hours even with lime—so plan to serve same-night, which suits a quick weeknight appetizer or taco topping perfectly.
