Tart tomatillos keep this dip a bright green and prevent the avocado
from discoloring, even after a day or two in the refrigerator. Look
for tomatillos in the produce section of most large supermarkets.

Chips:
3 (6-inch) pitas, split in half horizontally
Cooking spray
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Dip:
1/2 pound tomatillos (about 5 large)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon finely chopped seeded jalape±o pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup fat-free sour cream
2 ripe peeled avocados, seeded and coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 375¦.
To prepare chips, coat rough side of each pita half with cooking
spray; sprinkle pita halves evenly with cumin seeds, oregano, and 1/2
teaspoon kosher salt. Cut each pita half into 8 wedges; arrange wedges
in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake at 375¦ for 15 minutes or
until golden brown.

To prepare dip, discard husks and stems from tomatillos. Place
tomatillos in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil;
cook 5 minutes or until tender. Cool to room temperature. Place
tomatillos, onion, cilantro, jalape±o, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a
blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Add sour cream
and avocado; process until smooth. Serve with chips.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: about 2 1/2 tablespoons dip and 4
chips)
