  1. Dice 2 ripe avocados and 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper. Place in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion.
  2. Mince 4 cloves garlic and 1-2 small jalapeño peppers (remove seeds for less heat). Add to the bowl with the avocados and onion.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
