1
Prepare the Fava Beans
If using dried fava beans, soak them overnight and then cook until tender. If using canned fava beans, drain and rinse them under cold water.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), and roughly chop the cilantro.
3
Prepare the Avocados
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

4
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked fava beans, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl with the avocado.
5
Add Lime Juice
Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Mash and Mix
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the avocado and fava beans together until combined but still chunky.

7
Serve
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and enjoy as a dip with tortilla chips, spread on toast, or as a topping for salads.
