Make my favorite snack with me!

Fun fact- I actually made this snack on the set of Easy-Bake Battle on and everyone loved it. The judges and even the crew backstage kept talking about it!

Today I’m using Trader Joe’s Spicy Cheese Crunchies, but normally I make this with Cheetos which I prefer.

Start by adding your spicy chips to a bowl,
Add diced avocado, then squeeze fresh lime juice or lemon juice if that’s what you have.
Give everything a gentle mix so the creamy avocado coats the spicy crunchies. It’s spicy, creamy, tangy, and crunchy all in one bite.
