Avocado Jalapeño Dip │ Authentic Mexican Recipe
This avocado jalapeño dip recipe is your go-to for a fast and delicious appetizer. Whether you call it a spicy avocado cream cheese dip or a creamy jalapeño dip, it’s guaranteed to be the star on your party table or at a Super Bowl gathering.
Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 air fryer or stove top
- 1 Cutting board
Ingredients
- 2 pieces avocados
- 1/4 bar cream cheese
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 piece jalapeno add more to taste
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
- Start by roasting the jalapeño and garlic directly over an open flame. This method not only softens the ingredients but also imparts a smoky flavor that elevates the creaminess of the avocados. (Tip: For a quicker blend, use a high-powered blender or a trusty food processor.)
- Once roasted, carefully clean the jalapeño by removing the burned skin, seeds, and branch. This step controls the heat, ensuring that your spicy avocado dip has just the right amount of kick.
- In your blender cup or food processor, combine the roasted ingredients with the 2 avocados, cream cheese, fresh cilantro, milk, and salt. For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice, a dash of garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Blend for 15-30 seconds until smooth and creamy—this is what creates the ultimate creamy avocado texture.
- Spoon your avocado and cream cheese dip into a serving bowl. It’s perfect with homemade tortilla chips, veggies, as a drizzle over salads (think creamy Mexican salad dressing), or even as an avocado salsa alongside your burrito bowls. For a twist, stir in a little ranch seasoning to create a unique ranch-style dip that pairs wonderfully with your favorite chips.

Notes
Store Leftover:
If you have any left (though I doubt it!), store your dip in an airtight container or zip lock bags, and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Milk in the recipe helps to keep its vibrant color fresh. Enjoy within two days for the best flavor.
I love using this dip as a spicy avocado dressing for my salads or even as a refreshing Mexican avocado sauce over burrito bowls.
