Recipe : Chicharos Guacamole

Green peas--called "chicharos" in Mexico--are a deliciously low-fat substitute for the
avocado commonly used in making guacamole. Serve with fat-free tortilla chips or raw
vegetables.

Makes 6 servings

8 ounces drained rinsed canned green peas (reserve 2 tablespoons liquid)
6 ounces drained cooked pinto beans
2 tablespoons nonfat mayonnaise (10 calories per tablespoon)
1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
2 teaspoons Mexican hot chili powder
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon seeded minced jalapeno pepper

In food processor, combine peas, beans, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, garlic
and cumin; puree until smooth.
Spoon mixture into medium bowl; stir in scallions, cilantro and jalapeno pepper. Add 1-
2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid to make desired dip consistency.
Cover and chill at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
