- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves (chopped, optional)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Avocados:
- Place the diced avocados in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice to prevent browning.
- Blend the Dip:
- Add the sour cream, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika (if using), cilantro (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl.
- Mash with a fork for a chunkier texture, or blend with an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
- Chill:
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
- Use as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, or burgers.
