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.

Tastes great and super easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this dip and it was great! I didn't even measure the lime juice, just used the juice of one lime. I also used... 8oz of cream cheese. I saw the comments about it not being flavorful so I added some cayenne pepper and it is great, about 1/8tsp. I made mine in the food processor, it was easy just throwing it all in. I wasn't able to find goat cheese except the chunky kind for salads, worked great. I also added some fresh chives to mine. My husband and I loved it.Read more

GREAT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I actually went a little further on this one. I followed the recipe (I have made it several times now, and once used my hand... mixer with pulse setting, the other with my food processor-food processor was just far more cleanup) and the one thing that made it much better to me and a bunch of ladies with wine glasses was adding some shredded parmesan throughout and baking this in an oven safe dish at 350 for about 20 mins. You can even pop it under the broiler to brown the top for a while if you like. LOVED IT!Read more

Taaaastyyy!

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
