Ingredients

  • 1 medium bulb garlic (2 oz)
  • 3 tortillas from 1 package (11 oz) Old El Paso™ Flour Tortillas for Burritos (8 Count)
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 medium avocados, peeled, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Dash ground red pepper (cayenne) or few drops red pepper sauce, if desired
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 3 plum (Roma) tomatoes, seeds removed, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Assorted fresh vegetables for dipping, such as carrots and cucumbers

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Carefully peel paper-like layers from around bulb of garlic, leaving just enough to hold garlic cloves together. Cut 1/4- to 1/2-inch slice from top of bulb to expose cloves. Place cut side up on 6-inch piece of foil; wrap securely in foil. Place in pie plate or shallow baking dish. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until garlic is tender when pierced with toothpick or fork. Cool.
  • 2
    Spray 2 large cookie sheets with cooking spray. Cut each tortilla into 12 wedges. Place in single layer on cookie sheets. Spray with cooking spray. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, mash avocados. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the roasted garlic,* the lime juice, salt, black pepper and red pepper. Stir in onion, tomatoes and cilantro. Serve with baked tortilla chips and vegetables for dipping.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.
  • tip 2
    Reduce calories to 100 and fat to 4g per serving by substituting 1 cup frozen peas, cooked and drained, for one of the avocados. Place the peas and 1 Tbsp water in a food processor; process just until smooth, then add to the mashed avocado.
  • tip 3
    If you don't have time to roast the garlic, substitute 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic for the mashed roasted garlic.
