BTW those Pringles tortilla chips are no longer made

My recipe is adapted from the Backpack Gourmet
?
5 cloves garlic
2 scallions
15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
3 ripe tomatoes, chopped
juice of 1 fresh lime (2 Tablespoons)
1/2 t chili powder 1/4 t salt.?
?
Actually I replace tomatoes with my favorite salsa (Safeway Southwest Style Hot). When I use salsa I skip the chili
I sometimes add a couple of ears' worth of corn
Add cumin (lots)
Add Olive oil
Add cilantro
?
Wooze it up in the food processor until it's paste like
Dry on parchment paper
Break up dried hunks (sometimes in food processor)
?
Recipes says to take 2 oz (dry) servings.? I find this about right.?
?
To make home made tortilla chips cut thick tortillas (Trader Joe's are too thin) into 6 pie pieces, spray of both sides with olive oil, salt.? Toast at 350 until crisp.?
?
Another trick for lunches is cutting bagels cross wise (so you produce little rounds) spray with olive oil, salt, toast at 350 until they are crispy.? Very good with dried hummus.?

I know the author of that book (Backpack Gourmet.) Her husband was my accountant. They have hiked all over the world. She has tempted me with some of her recipes, but alas I have never made any. I don't have the time, I tell myself. She says otherwise.

They always eat like gourmets when hiking...

I see avocado in your black bean recipe, which is wonderful for home use.?
However, I've not had success dehydrating avocados, and because of the high fat content, every dehydrating book I've consulted exclaims that avocado should not be dried.?
Does this actually work for you?? What issues, concerns, and problems have you experienced drying avocado?

Yes it has worked and I dry many things with olive oil in them.? They do have a greasy-ish surface but they're dried.?

I love Backpack Gourmet recipes.? Been using that book since my 2007 AT thru-hike when I backpacked all my dinners.? Never got bored.? Never got any food poisoning either.?
