Cooking Tip: If you don't want much heat and a calmer dip, roast the jalapenos before adding them to the blender. Simply put them into a hot, dry skillet and cook over high heat until they char and soften a bit.
Serve the jalapeno, avocado and cilantro dip as an appetizer or snack with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables or bread. The dip is also wonderful drizzled or spooned over chicken, shrimp, fish, pork or beef. I spooned the tasty dip over taco-seasoned pan-fried chicken breasts on a bed of black beans. It was a delicious high-protein dinner.
