- Finely dice onion and tomato. Press garlic. Chop coriander.
- Mix everything together with avocados. Squeeze in lime juice.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes.
Assembly & Bake

Tips & Notes
- Serves 3-4 as a main, or more as a starter/snack.
- Cheese sauce — make it once, use half here, save half for tacos later in the week.
- Guacamole with frozen avocado — Helga María says this works surprisingly well. Defrost first, then mash.
- Toppings are infinite — black beans, sweetcorn, jalapeño, fresh tomatoes, pickled red onion… go wild.
- Make it a full meal — add extra beans and veg on top, serve with a side salad.
