This creamy avocado dip is a delightful twist on traditional guacamole, featuring a hint of zest and a smooth texture.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
To check if an avocado is ripe, gently press its skin; it should yield slightly.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Leave some chunks for a more textured dip.
Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Squeeze the juice of the lime into the mixture and stir.
Roll the lime on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Mix in the salt, cumin, and diced jalapeño.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Serve the dip immediately with your choice of tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
For a party, garnish with a sprinkle of cumin or chopped cilantro for presentation.
