Avocado Ranch Dip


This dip I discovered by accident when I wanted to eat my standard snack: cut up avocado and tortilla chips. I decided to add some sour cream and remembered I still had some Buttermilk Ranch Dry Mix made up from the Ranch Crack Potatoes. Threw it all in a bowl and decided to try out my new Cuisinart SmartStick Immersion Blender, Metallic Charcoal (Google Affiliate Ad) from Christmas. Vroom, Vroom, Vroom of the blender and done! It was great on the chips and I also spread on a bacon sandwich! Yummy!

Yields about 1 cup

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 heaping tablespoons (generous dollops) sour cream (or substitute plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tsp Buttermilk Ranch Dry Mix - MSG-Free
Directions:

Either:
  1. Place all ingredients in small blender/food processor (I used my handy Cuisinart Smartstick Immersion Blender). Pulse until smooth. OR
  2. Smash avocado into a creamy paste then blend with sour cream and ranch mix. Enjoy!

Easy Turkey Avocado Wrap

This is a ridiculously easy wrap to make if you are in a hurry or just want to change up your typical turkey sandwich. I remembered after the fact that I should have added some lettuce and tomato - if they would have fit. I got a little carried away piling on the ingredients but it was delicious as is!


Buttermilk Ranch Dry Mix
Ingredients:

  • 1 8 inch tortilla of choice
  • ~ 2oz sliced turkey of choice 
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 2-3 tbsp grated cheese
  • ~2 tbsp ranch dressing - I reconstituted some of my Buttermilk Ranch Recipe MSG-Free
  • 3 tbsp lettuce, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 small tomato, diced (optional)
  • salt & pepper to taste (optional)
Directions:

  1. Place wrap between moistened paper towels and microwave on plate for 15-20 seconds. 
  2. Place wrap directly on plate.
  3. Spread ranch onto tortilla
  4. Pile on turkey, cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, any other veggies you would like etc. - make sure you leave a border.
  5. Wrap like a pinwheel. Enjoy!
