Instructions
1. Place diced beets in a bowl and pour over the lime juice; let marinate 15–30 minutes so beets absorb citrus. 2. Add chopped red onion, jalapeño and cherry tomatoes to the beets; toss gently. 3. Fold in diced avocado, olive oil and cilantro; season with salt and pepper. 4. Chill briefly if desired, then serve on tostadas or with tortilla chips as an entrée.
