Healthy Yogurt Avocado Dip

Last week I went over to my cousin Sarah's for a dinner party. She made enchiladas, yogurt-avocado dip and another friend Joseph made some fancy Spanish rice. The yogurt dip was delicious. So delicious in fact I've thought about it almost daily since. 

Tonight, I made chicken-fajitas on lettuce wraps, exact same recipe as the steak-fajitas, but chicken.

To go along with the lettuce-wrapped fajitas, I also made the yogurt-avocado dip.

Here is what you need. 

Yogurt, Avocados, Lime, Cilantro, Cumin, Garlic, Jalapeño Pepper.

Salt and pepper to taste. 

First, cut up the avocados, though I had four pictured, I only ended up using three.

I put them all in a bowl...

And immediately squeezed half a lime over the avocados because I don't 

enjoy the browning of the avocado.

Then I started mashing and mixing. 

Now, if you had a food processor, it would be much easier to add the ingredients and go.

However, I do not have the luxury appliance, but I do have a good mixing arm.

Add the yogurt.

Add cilantro.

Add cumin.

Add garlic.

Add a jalapeno pepper.

Or more if you want the heat.

Also, salt and pepper to taste. 

If the mixture isn't creamy enough, then add some more yogurt.

Ta-dah! A Yogurt-Avocado Dip. 

(If you put the mixture in a food processor it will be less lumpy.)

You can use it for chips, veggies, put it on a wrap, on a burger, on a wrap.

The possibilities are endless. The world is your avocado. 

Yogurt-Avocado Dip Recipe:

3/4 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt 
3-4 medium avocados 
1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic 
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
2 limes 
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions: 

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or a food processor 

2. Serve with your choice of chips, veggies or use as dressing for a wrap.

Enjoy!
