Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 avocados
3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Sour cream and diced tomato, for topping

Steps:

  • Toast the chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat, turning often, until they soften slightly, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with hot water; let sit 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the chiles and 3 tablespoons of the soaking water to a blender. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, the garlic, oregano, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon each of the cayenne and salt; puree until almost smooth.
