Appetizer Pie Recipe

Appetizer Pie Recipe

• 3 ripe avocados or 1 1/2 to 2 cups guacamole
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 small can sliced black olives
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup picante sauce or salsa
• 1 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese or Mexican blend
• Tortilla chips

Preparation:

In bowl, mash avocados with the lemon juice. If desired, substitute 1 1/2 to 2 cups prepared guacamole. Spread avocado mixture evenly in bottom of 9-inch pie plate. Spread sour cream over top. Sprinkle with green onions and olives. Spoon picante sauce over sour cream, then sprinkle the cheese over all. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. Serve with chips for dipping. When making this dish ahead, spread the sour cream completely over the avocado layer so it won't darken while the pie is stored in the refrigerator.
