Indulge in this creamy, spicy, and addictive dip, perfect for snacking, entertaining, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped (leave seeds for extra heat)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon olive oil for extra creaminess
Directions:
- Blend the Ingredients: Combine avocados, jalapeño, sour cream, cilantro, garlic, cumin, lime juice, and olive oil (if using) in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust the Flavor: Taste the dip and season with salt and black pepper to your preference. Add more lime juice for tanginess or jalapeño for extra spice.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
Tips for Success:
- Heat Control: Start with half a jalapeño if you’re sensitive to spice, and adjust to taste.
- Fresh Herbs: If you’re not a fan of cilantro, substitute with parsley or skip it altogether.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Consume within 1–2 days.
