  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Tortilla chips (optional)

Directions
1. 
In a large bowl mash avocados. Stir in salsa and sour cream until combined. Stir in pineapple, beans, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and cumin.

Tip

  • *Tip:

    Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands touch the peppers, wash hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
