Avocado-Tomatillo Dip with Cumin Pita Chips

2 points


Chips:

3  (6-inch) pitas, split in half horizontally
Cooking spray
1  teaspoon cumin
1  teaspoon dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2  teaspoon salt


Dip:

1/2  pound tomatillos (about 5 large)
1/2  cup chopped onion
2  tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1  finely chopped partially seeded jalapeño pepper
1/2  teaspoon salt
1/3  cup fat-free sour cream
2  ripe peeled avocados chopped


Preheat oven to 375°.

To prepare chips, coat rough side of each pita half with cooking spray; sprinkle pita halves evenly with cumin, oregano, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut each pita half into 8 wedges; arrange wedges in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

To prepare dip, discard husks and stems from tomatillos. Place tomatillos in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 5 minutes or until tender. Cool to room temperature. Place tomatillos, onion, cilantro, jalapeño and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Add sour cream and avocado; process until smooth. Serve with chips.
