  • 2 ripe avocados, coarsely chopped
  • Two 15-ounce cans black beans, 1 can drained but not rinsed, 1 can drained and rinsed

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus whole leaves for garnish
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Dash hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco

Directions:
