Scoop out flesh and place in a medium-size bowl; use a fork and mash to combine. (a pastry blender works great for this) or in a mortar and pestle.
Work remaining ingredients in until well mixed and serve. Adjust seasonings to taste and add chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Notes
*Not everyone loves cilantro like I do, so it's included as an optional add-in. You get the salty brine from the pickled jalapeños, so adjust added salt to taste. I love garnishing with coarse salt right before serving.
