A half cup of regular guacamole has almost 200 calories, 86 percent of them from fat. Add a handful of chips and you're eating the calorie equivalent of a Quarter Pounder. This recipe is total genius; it substitutes green peas for most of the avocado but tastes like the real thing. Serve with baked corn tortilla chips. (Cut tortillas into 8 wedges and bake at 350 degrees or until crisp, about 9 minutes.)

1 1/2 cups thawed green peas
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. canned diced green chilies
1 /2 cup mild or medium commercial salsa
2 tbsp. diced onion
1 medium tomato, diced
Salt to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced

Combine all ingredients except garlic in a food processor or blender and blend until thoroughly mixed but not quite smooth. Stir in garlic.
