Description

This Avocado “salsa” can be used on almost everything! From dipping chips, to topping grilled chicken, to using on a hamburger or sandwich, it adds great flavor!

Ingredients

1 large avocado, seeded
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro, lightly packed
1 (4.5- ounce) can chopped green chilis
1/4 cup roasted, salted pepitas
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup light olive oil
juice of 1 large lime (2- tablespoons)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Place all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
Add more water by the tablespoon if a thinner consistency is desired.
Cover and chill until ready to use.

Notes

I like to give this at least an hour of chill time before serving, so the flavors have time to combine.

I noted you can add a little more water if you prefer a thinner consistency. You can even add more lime juice instead, which will also thin it out, but give it a more tart flavor, which is a nice option too!

Store airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
