I whipped the cream cheese first then added the avocado mixed in the rest of the ingredients. I liked it on the burger but found the burger took over the dip. But I enjoyed it so much more as a dip with veggies and tortilla chips. This would make a great spread for inside a wrap. The burger is a 4 star as a dip 5 stars. Thanks for a versatile recipe.
