Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 medium jalapeño, seeds removed and chopped (adjust based on heat preference)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cumin for added flavor

Tortilla chips or fresh veggies for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

    Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped jalapeño, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl with the avocado.

      Blend Together: Use a fork or a hand mixer to mash and blend all the ingredients together until creamy. Adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

        Taste Test: Take a small bite to check the heat level—add more jalapeño if you like it spicier, or a little more yogurt to tone it down.

          Chill & Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks.
