Avocado Dip with Tortilla Chips

Source of Recipe

From "The Southern Living Party Cookbook"


Recipe Introduction

"Mayonnaise in an avocado dip? I understand your surprise, but I have to say that it makes this dip pretty fantastic. Covering the avocados with mayonnaise keeps them from turning brown since they aren't exposed to the air, making this a 'do the day before' recipe to add to your arsenal. You're welcome!"

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 large ripe avocados
â—¦ ¼ cup mayonnaise
â—¦ 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
â—¦ 1 canned green chile, minced, or ½ teaspoon chili powder
â—¦ 1 small garlic clove, minced
â—¦ ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
â—¦ 4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
â—¦ Tortilla chips


Recipe

Mash the avocados, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a small bowl just until combined.

Add the chile, garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt; stir well. Cover with plastic wrap, placing the plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip. Chill at least 1 hour. (Dip may be prepared the day before.)

Season to taste with salt before serving.
Garnish with the crumbled bacon, and serve with tortilla chips.
