Ingredients

3 ripe avocados remove skin and seed
6 oz plain Greek yogurt
6 oz sour cream
2-3 cloves of garlic
A small bunch of cilantro stems removed
½ a jalapeno pepper cut into rounds
2 TBS Juice from 1 lime approx 2 TBS
Kosher salt and pepper taste don't be shy with the salt

Optional

pinch or two of cumin if you enjoy that flavor
for more heat add a pinch or more of cayenne red pepper
serve alongside tortilla chips, pita chips vegetables or for low carb, cook up thick bacon for a dipper

Instructions

Place ingredients into your food processor (or blender) and pulse until you get your desired consistency.
Adjust seasoning to your liking, then scrape into your serving bowl.
Serve right away or cover very tightly with plastic wrap (you want the wrap to touch the dip) and chill for 20-30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips or veggies.

Notes

If your avocados were in the refrigerator, you can serve this dip right away. If not, you may want to chill it for 20-30 minutes. Press plastic wrap firmly against the top of the dip.

If any area of the dip browns, simply scrape away for aesthetics.

Dip can easily be halved. Use 2 avocados, and halve the rest of the ingredients. Adjust seasonings and lime for taste.
