Method
1
Halve the avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Coarsely chop the avocado with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
2
Coarsely chop the yellow onion and add it to the bowl with the avocado. Gently fold together to combine.
3
Quarter or halve the cherry tomatoes depending on their size, then add them to the bowl. Fold gently to avoid breaking down the avocado further.
4
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the mixture and add the chipotle powder (or preferred heat option: cayenne, fresh chopped jalapeño, or crushed red pepper flakes). Fold to distribute evenly.
5
Squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice over the salsa, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6
Gently fold all ingredients together one final time to combine without crushing the avocado. Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled fish, or chicken.
