The sour cream makes this avocado dip very creamy, which is a really great change from the regular guacamole. The original recipe is from Bon Appetit, and I made some small changes to it.
I added garlic, because to me it is a must in guacamole:)
You can always use strained Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, or use fat free sour cream if you want to have a dip with less fat. The taste is still great.
Roast the corn in a skillet or on open fire before adding and it gives a smoky flavor which really makes this dip.
If you can't find canned chipotle, you can use the powder, which is less subtle but it still gives it a bite.
