Ingredients

3 ripe avocados
6 oz plain Greek yogurt
6 oz sour cream For this full fat sour cream is best in my opinion
2 cloves of garlic
handful of cilantro leaves If you dislike cilantro, you can leave it out an or swap for some parsley.
½ a jalapeno pepper, chopped Ff you like spicy feel free to add the whole jalapeno BUT always test your jalapeno for how hot it is, you just never know!
2 TBS fresh lime juice Fresh lime is best
pinch or two of cumin
Kosher salt and pepper taste don't be shy with the salt
Optional cayenne pepper for added heat

Instructions

Place ingredients into your food processor (or blender) and pulse until you get your desired consistency.
Taste and then adjust seasoning to your liking (more heat or more salt etc.
Scrape in to 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. If covered tightly this will hold up pretty well for a day or more.

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