Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe avocados
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 4 medium garlic cloves, pressed or chopped (more if you REALLY like garlic, but put in this much first, then taste it after all the ingredients are added)
- 10–12 shakes of paprika (for body and flavor, does not add spice and you really can’t put in too much)
- 4 shakes of cumin (can make it spicy if you use too much)
- 3 shakes of ground mustard (not too much, will add a strong flavor)
- 1/2 lime or lemon
- 5 shakes of onion powder (if the holes in the jar are big, more shakes if the holes in the jar are small)
- 2–4 tablespoons fresh or dried cilantro to taste
- 2–4 tablespoons fresh or dried chives to taste
- 2–4 shakes of seasoned salt, taste, then add more if needed
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half with a large knife. If the avocado you picked happens to not be perfectly ripe, hack the pit with the knife to remove it. Otherwise, the pit of a ripe avocado will fall out easily.
- Scoop out the meat from each avocado with a large spoon. If the meat isn’t ripe enough, you might need to use a knife to mash it. Otherwise, use a fork and press into it, which easily mashes it. The consistency will be smooth if all the avocados are ripe, otherwise, there will be some chunks.
- Dump the rest of the ingredients in and stir with a fork.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and you’ll have a party appetizer that everyone will be standing around and will leave talking about!
