Hass Avocado Dipping Sauce Ingredients
- 2 ripe, Fresh Hass Avocados, peeled and seeded
- 1 cup low fat sour cream
- 2 Tbsp. (or to taste) lime juice
- Zest from 2 limes, optional
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
- Place olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add cumin, salt, chile powder, cayenne and cinnamon. Stir to combine and let cook for a minute.
- Add ground beef and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add red peppers and cook for another minute, breaking up bigger pieces of meat with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle lime juice over avocado and add to meat mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Place equal amounts of meat mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper (about a tsp. each).
- Dip your fingers in water and moisten edges of won ton. Fold won ton over to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and meat mixture.
- Place 2 inches of oil in a medium saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat. Working in batches, carefully put 5 or 6 won tons in oil and cook until golden, about 40 seconds. Turn and cook another 30-40 seconds (if won tons get brown too quickly, lower heat a little bit).
- Remove won tons from oil with a slotted spoon or tongs and let drain on paper towels before serving with Hass Avocado Dipping Sauce.
