Avocados

Avocados have become one of my favorite foods.  You can do so many things with them: eat them plain, put them in a sandwich or omelet, or make a dip out of them.   The next recipe I want to share with you comes from my Aunt Marianne.   I had it for the first time this Easter and knew I needed the recipe!  It has a little bit of spice to it but that adds to the appeal.   She had told me how simple it was but not until I got the recipe did I realize that it was really that easy!

Ingredients:

·         2 ripe avocados, pitted and diced

·         2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies (they have this in hot as well)

·         Garlic powder, to taste

Directions:

1.       Mix the avocados, diced tomatoes and chilies, and garlic powder together and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

2.       When ready to serve, remove from fridge and serve with tortilla chips

Easy enough right?!  You can also doctor it a little by adding sour cream or olive oil as well as whatever spices you like!
