5 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1/4 cup minced white onion
1 large jalapeno, seeded, minced, divided

Directions

1

Combine 2 1/2 tablespoons cilantro, onion, and 1 tablespoon jalapeno in a mortar or a large bowl; season with salt and mash with a pestle or the back of a fork until a coarse paste forms. Using a small knife, cut flesh (not skin) of each avocado lengthwise into 4 strips, then crosswise 4 or 5 times, forming cubes. Using a spoon, scoop cubes out of peel and into mortar with onion mixture. Mash until slightly chunky. Mix in remaining cilantro and jalapeno along with the tomato, lime juice, and zest. Season to taste with salt. Serve with tortilla chips. DO AHEAD:
