Puerto Rican Hamburger Dip Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
Adobo  (seasoning)
Sofrito  (vegetable paste)
Sazon ( seasoning, use  if you have it)
onion, chopped
sour cream
 2 avocados , chopped

The sofrito will be the first thing you put on the pan, then you add the meat and seasoned the meat with adobo. Once is done I add the onions, sour cream and avocado. thats it! If you want you can add a little bit of tomato paste but is not a necessity. If you don't  avocado its still great with just the other ingredients.
Adobo has salt so be careful to not add too much.  But if you want extra flavor you can add garlic powder, onion powder and pepper, all of these are in Adobo but with out the extra salt.)

Serve with chips, tortilla chips are the best but potato chips are good too.


Many grocery stores carry these items in the big cities, if not look at International  Food Stores, which is where I found mine.

New shop banner for Artfire

New Avatar too!

Artfire is changing things around a bit and I needed a new banner and decided I wanted a whole new look too.  Helping Hands Graphics was able to help accomplish this difficult task. 

 Anne with Helping Hands Graphics does a wonderful job.

I even got a new banner for my present shop before the new changes come into affect.
