Tart tomatillos keep this dip a bright green and prevent the avocado from discoloring, even after a day or two in the refrigerator. Look for tomatillos in the produce section of most large supermarkets.

Ingredients
Chips:
3 (6-inch) pitas, split in half horizontally
Cooking spray
-
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Dip:
½ pound tomatillos (about 5 large)
½ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon finely chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup fat-free sour cream
2 ripe peeled avocados, seeded and coarsely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Step 2
To prepare chips, coat rough side of each pita half with cooking spray; sprinkle pita halves evenly with cumin seeds, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cut each pita half into 8 wedges; arrange wedges in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 3
To prepare dip, discard husks and stems from tomatillos. Place tomatillos in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 5 minutes or until tender. Cool to room temperature. Place tomatillos, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Add sour cream and avocado; process until smooth. Serve with chips.
