Preparation

Chef’s notes

This recipe can be made vegan by swapping the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative – even just a little hunk of tofu would work, or maybe the whole avocado instead of half. But don’t use oil – the oil and avocado don’t really blend together well (I speak from experience).
Here are the spicy chips. They are really spicy and really good. This is an affiliate link to order a box of them on Amazon.
