Let’s make it.

Mash with lime juice, leaving some texture.
Fold in onion, coriander and salt. Taste and adjust lime.
Serve promptly with tortilla chips. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.

A little kitchen note

Use ripe avocados; unripe fruit will not mash smoothly. Check chips for your dietary needs.

Allergen notes

Check tortilla-chip ingredients and cross-contact labels. This list is a starting point, not a certification of suitability. Check every ingredient label and preparation surface.

Use a food thermometer where relevant. For handling and storage, see our cooking basics and official food-safety links.
