Ingredients
-
4 -6 Hass avocadoes, very large and ripe, peeled, coarsely chopped (count depends on size)
-
3/4 cup sweet onion, diced (use Walla-Walla, Vidalia, or red)
-
2/3 bunch cilantro leaf, chopped (apx. 1 cup)
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Best Foods aka Hellmans)
-
2/3 cup sour cream
-
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice (*not* a lemon, Yuck! Use juice of about 1/2 of a medium lime, go easy)
-
3 -4 dashes hot sauce (I use a Chipotle-based smoky one)
-
2 roma tomatoes, chopped (seeds and juice removed first)
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon cumin
-
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
-
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
-
1/2 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
Instructions
- Grind spices together with mortar & pestle. Add to rest of ingredients, partially mashing the avocado – leaving at least ½ in good-sized chunks. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill overnight. Taste for seasonings, then sprinkle with a bit more paprika, some more fresh cilantro leaves and diced red onion on top, and serve with tortilla chips.
