  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. 1Blend all ingredients until very smooth and creamy. No cooking needed! The avocado makes it rich and creamy while mellowing the jalapeño heat. Adjust consistency with water or more sour cream. Best used within 2-3 days as avocado oxidizes. Store with plastic wrap pressed directly on surface to prevent browning.
