Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: pinch of chili powder or jalapeño for heat
Instructions
- Prep the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl or blender.
- Add the Flavor Base: Add lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to the avocados. The lime juice helps prevent browning and adds a tangy kick.
- Blend in the Creaminess: Add sour cream and cilantro, then blend or mash until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Serve Fresh: Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with chili powder or fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe, soft avocados for a creamy, smooth texture.
- For a chunkier dip, mash the ingredients with a fork.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
- For added spice, use jalapeño or cayenne pepper to elevate the heat.
