Slice avocado in half and take out pit.

Using a knife, cut avocados lengthwise and width wide without cutting the peel. Scoop avocado out with a spoon into a bowl.

Add diced jalapeno, white onion, parsley or cilantro and juice of 3 limes.

Add a teaspoon of salt and mix lightly with a wooden spoon. If you like it chunky leave it chunky; if you like it more smooth, mash until you reach your desired consistency.

Add 1 diced tomato (optional).

Serve with plantain chips.
