CREAMY AVOCADO DIP
Think of this dip as the creamy, tangy cousin to guacamole. The Parmesan may seem out of place, but it's a stand-in for hard-to-find Mexican cheese and is the secret ingredient. Serve it with tortilla chips or veggies, or on the side with grilled chicken or steak.

Steps:
- Take avocados and cut into and around the circumference of the avocado's pit.
- With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart.
- Remove the pit with a knife or a spoon.
- Carve out the flesh of the avocado with a tablespoon.
- Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy. I use a fork or a pastry blender.
- Some people like the avocados more chunky than others-- either way it tastes great.
- Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.
- Add salt, pepper, tabasco sauce and lime juice and taste to see if seasoned enough to your liking.
- In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.
- Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and adjust your seasonings again.
- Taste it and decide if you prefer your guacamole with or without sour cream.
- If you like with sour cream add 4 tablespoons or more to the avocado mixture and adjust your seasonings again.
- If not, do nothing and leave it like it is.
- Serve chilled with chips or add a little to your taco salad, tacos or fajitas.

Tips for Making the Best Avocado Dip:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your dip will be.
- Choose the right type of avocado: There are two main types of avocados: Hass and Fuerte. Hass avocados are smaller and have a dark, bumpy skin. They are the most popular type of avocado for guacamole because they have a rich, creamy flavor. Fuerte avocados are larger and have a smooth, green skin. They have a milder flavor than Hass avocados.
- Scoop out the avocado flesh carefully: Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh. Be careful not to scoop out the pit.
- Mash the avocado with a fork or whisk: You can mash the avocado with a fork or a whisk. If you want a smoother dip, use a whisk.
- Add your favorite ingredients: You can add a variety of ingredients to your avocado dip, such as lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can also add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos.
- Serve your avocado dip immediately: Avocado dip is best served immediately. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Avocado dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the best avocado dip that your friends and family will love.
