Classic Guacamole and Chips

Mexican flavors, weeknight effort. Avocados meets lime in a 10-minute snack worth keeping in rotation. At 280 calories and 4g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 2 Avocados
• 1 Lime
• 2 tbsp Red onion
• 2 tbsp Cilantro
• 1 oz Tortilla chips
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Cut both avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
2. Mash with a fork using firm, short strokes until chunky — stop while you can still see distinct avocado pieces.
3. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime right away and stir; the acid keeps the green color bright.
4. Fold in the red onion, cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
5. Taste with a chip and adjust salt at the very end — one more pinch usually wakes everything up.
6. Serve immediately with tortilla chips; to hold it briefly, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to block air.
