• Ethnicity: Mexican
• Holiday Category: N/A
• Preparation Time: Over 1 hour, less than 1 day

Ingredients

• 4 avocados, pitted and mashed into pulp
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 1 can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with chiles
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 (4 ounce) can green chiles
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed is better)
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 5 or 6 drops green food coloring (optional, if avocados
•     aren't ripe and dark green in color)
• 2 fresh or canned jalapeño peppers, stems removed
•     (optional, if you like it hotter)

Directions

1. In a blender, mix and blend all ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. Do not taste the sauce until it has chilled. If you taste it right after blending, it won't taste "salty enough." But let the sauce chill and let the flavors develop and it will be great!
2. Serve with white corn tortilla chips. Yummy!!!
