6. Sprinkle the chili powder and cumin over the mixture
7. Add the fresh lime juice and stir everything together until well combined
8. Gently fold in the diced avocado and chopped cilantro to avoid mashing the avocado
9. Add parchment paper to your trays
10. Spread the Cowboy Caviar evenly
11. Pre Freeze when possible
12. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 32 hours)
13. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage

Rehydration: 

Add 2 cups of freeze-dried Cowboy Caviar to a bowl,  jar, or mylar bag along with 1 1/2 cups of cold water.  Let sit for a few minutes, stirring several times.  This makes about 2 cups. Enjoy 


Notes:

For freeze-dried tortilla chips, just cut any tortilla into triangles and freeze dry along with your Cowboy Caviar. Squeeze fresh lime on the tortillas for extra flavor
