Border Guacamole

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
• Tortilla chips for serving

Directions

Slice the avocados into quarters, then take out the pits. Remove the peel and transfer the avocado flesh to a mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to crush the avocado, stopping while it is still chunky. Stir in the cilantro, onion, chiles, lime juice, salt, and pepper with a fork until everything is well distributed. Spoon the guacamole into a mound over shredded lettuce, then arrange the sliced tomatoes alongside as a garnish.
