Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
2 medium ripe California Avocados, peeled and pitted, divided
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
Baked tortilla chip scoops

Directions

Line a strainer with four layers of cheesecloth or one coffee filter and place over a bowl. Place yogurt in prepared strainer; cover yogurt with edges of cheesecloth. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove yogurt from cheesecloth and discard liquid from bowl. In a small bowl, beat the yogurt, sour cream and one avocado until blended. Stir in the tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, cilantro and salt. In another bowl, mash remaining avocado with lime juice; stir into guacamole. Serve with tortilla chips. Yield: 3 cups.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
