Ingredients

• 4 ripe Haas avocados
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.

2. Immediately add the lemon juice, Tabasco, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced. Add the tomatoes. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper.
