Ingredients

  • 2 jalapeño chilies
  • 2 ripe large avocados
  • 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dash of pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 bag (13 1/2 ounces) baked tortilla chips

Steps

  • 1
    Remove stems, seeds and membranes from chilies; chop chilies. Cut avocados lengthwise in half; remove pit and peel. Place avocados in medium glass or plastic bowl; mash.
  • 2
    Stir in chilies and remaining ingredients except tortilla chips. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    2 tablespoons canned chopped green chilies can be substituted for the jalapeño chilies.
  • tip 2
    For an even lighter “guacamole” with no fat and 5 calories per serving, substitute a 15-ounce can of asparagus cuts, drained then blended or processed in a food processor until smooth, for the avocados. Stir in 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise.
