Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, chopped tomatoes, finely diced red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocados.

- Season and chill: Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve with chips: After chilling, serve the avocado salsa chilled alongside crispy tortilla chips for a refreshing and flavorful appetizer.
Notes
- For a milder salsa, omit the jalapeño or reduce the amount used.
- This salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salsa before refrigerating.
