4 servings, 1/2 avocado each | Active Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients

2 ripe but firm avocados, halved and pitted, skin left on
1/4 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 small chipotle chile in adobo (see Tip), minced (about 1 teaspoon), or to taste
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus 4 wedges for serving

Tips & Notes

Chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce are smoked jalapeños packed in a flavorful, spicy sauce. Look for the small cans with Mexican foods at large supermarkets. Once opened, they’ll keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
