Ingredients

1 package whole-wheat pita chips (cut into 6 triangles each)
3 ripe avocados, peeled pitted and cut into chunks
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more, if needed
3 tablespoons lime juice
4 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces goat cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread pita triangles on a sheet tray. Bake in the oven until crisp and slightly toasted. Chips will need to be rotated twice while baking.

In a bowl combine avocados, garlic, cumin and salt. Use an electric hand mixer to mix ingredients together. Add lime juice, cream cheese and goat cheese pulsing until smooth and blended well. Add a bit more salt, if necessary.

Taaaastyyy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love avacado & I love goat cheese, so this dip is outta this world! I eased up just a bit on the lime juice (used a little... over 2 Tbs), and it was great! Read more

Very good, but.....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made this dip while preparing dinner tonight, and the first taste seemed a little too bland. Think it will be better after... sitting overnight, and if it still needs a little 'boost', will then add some hot sauce and maybe a little more salt. Very easy to make in the food processor. I still prefer guacamole, but this goes together much faster! The real plus is that my husband liked it.Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this to be a very easy and tasty change from the usual guacamole. It did not need any additional salt, beyond the... 1/4 tsp. and the amount of cumin seemed just right. However, I made this in my food processor, not the hand-held mixer that the recipe specified. No way can you get the nice smooth texture with a hand-held. Also, the instruction to "pulse" doesn't really fit with a mixer either. Ditto the ingredient "pita chips" - no, you're supposed to cut pita BREAD into 6 sections and toast in the oven. But do you split the pita first? I found the instructions confusing and amateurish, as though no one had edited them. Read more

A nice change
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this for a party last week, it was a nice change from regular guacamole. I think the cumin may be a little strong,... but I did enjoy the dip - especially with the pita chips!Read more

smooth and creamy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this dip last week for a party I was going to. A few of the guests are picky, so I didn't tell them what was in... the dip until they had some. I was not only pleasantly surprised that they loved it, but I was told that from now on, this is what I needed to bring from now on! This dip is easy to mix & instead of pulling out your hand mixer for mixing, just use a potato masher. I will be making this again and again!Read more
