Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh chili pepper, of your choice minced
salt , to taste
freshly cracked black pepper , to taste
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp cumin, ground
2 cups diced cornbread, in 1/2-inch cubes
1 head romaine lettuce , outer leaves removed , inner leaves washed, dried, and torn into thirds
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and quartered
2 medium tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 small red onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and olive oil, and whisk together (it will look a little curdled, but don't worry).
Add the remaining dressing ingredients and whisk to blend (now it should be smooth). Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, and cumin and mix well.
Add the bread cubes and toss well to coat.
Put the seasoned cubes on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a 350* oven until crisp on the outside but still chewy inside, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, avocados, tomatoes, and onion.
Stir the dressing well, add just enough to moisten the ingredients (there will be some dressing left over), and toss to coat.
Sprinkle with cheese and croutons, and serve.
