Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed) chickpeas
- 2 medium (ripe) avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and finely diced) jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for adjusting texture) water
Instructions
1. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Set aside.
2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
3. Add the chickpeas, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, salt, pepper, and ground cumin to the bowl with the avocados.
4. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the ingredients together until you reach your desired texture. For a smoother dip, you can use a food processor and pulse the ingredients.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and stir to incorporate. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preferences.
7. Transfer the Guacpea Dip to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cilantro or a few chickpeas if desired.
