Avocado In Tortilla Cups PDF E-mail
Ingredients:
10 6-inch corn tortillas 
 vegetable cooking spray 
3 large ripe avocados 
2 cups (456 g) plain nonfat yogurt, drained 
1 large plum tomato, seeded and finely minced 
2 tablespoons (20 g) minced shallots or red onion 
2 large cloves garlic, minced 
3 tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lemon juice 
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice 
1 teaspoon (5 ml) chili powder 
 dash cayenne pepper 
10 pitted ripe olives for garnish 
 minced fresh cilantro for garnish 

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), Gas Mark 5. Lightly spray mini-muffin cups with cooking spray. 

Cut tortillas into quarters. Mist tortilla quarters with water and place 1 quarter in each muffin cup opening, pushing down in the center to form a cup. Spray again with cooking spay. Bake until cups are golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Tip out the cups and cool on a rack. 

Cut avocados in half lengthwise; remove and discard the pits. Using a spoon worked in between the flesh and the skin, remove the avocado half from the skin. Cut the avocado into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Using a large mixing spoon, mix the avocado with the yogurt, mashing the avocado as you mix to a chunky consistency. Stir in tomato, shallot, garlic, lemon juice, lime juice, chili powder, and cayenne. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 

Cut each olive into 4 crosswise slices. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
To assemble, spoon some of the avocado mixture into each tortilla cup. Sprinkle the top of each with some of the minced cilantro and top with an olive slice. Arrange on a large serving platter.
