Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine avocados, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more sour cream or lime juice to thin. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
