Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Wearing rubber gloves to protect your skin, rub chile with oil; broil 5 minutes, turning with tongs so all sides get charred.

Fill medium sauté pan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Prepare a medium-sized bowl of ice water. Place asparagus spears into boiling water 3 to 4 minutes or until just tender.

Transfer to blender or food processor, add yogurt and avocado and process until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in remaining ingredients (except chips). Serve with baked tortilla chips.
