This is a green salsa I learned while in Mexico. It is a green salsa with avocado and it is delicious! I always make it when we do carne asada. I am always begged for the recipe. Enjoy!

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (7 ounce) cans green tomatillo salsa (or can use just 1 can)
1 large avocado, peeled and cut in chunks
1 pickled jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (or use a fresh jalapeno)
1 teaspoon pickled jalapeno juice (optional)
1 fresh garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar (for tomatillos acidity)
1/2 cup water (if needed)
1/2 cup light sour cream (instead of the water)

Steps:

  • Pour green tomatillo salsa in a saucer and cook in the microwave for about 30 seconds in high power, only to cook the green tomatillos.
  • In a blender, pour the cooked green salsa and avocado chunks. Blend them together just to pulse the bottom for about 8 to 10 seconds, leaving some coarse avocado pieces, so the salsa doesn't get too smooth.
  • Note: if want the sauce more liquid and smoth, just add some water in the blender, (or the sour cream for a creamy salsa if you prefer).
  • Pour in the saucer again and add the chopped pickled jalapeño, vinegar, chopped garlic clove and cilantro. Season with garlic salt to taste. Stir well.
  • Serve as a dipping sauce for grilled burgers, hot dogs, or over grilled chicken, steaks, pork or fish.
  • Or also in tacos, burritos, rice, refried beans, tostadas, tortilla chips or whatever you like. Mmmmm -- delicious.!
  • Note: it keeps green color all the time it lasts.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 sack corn tortilla chips, any brand or color (yellow, blue, red, white) will do
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
Coarse salt and black pepper
1 cup water
2 firm Haas avocados
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
Handful cilantro leaves, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
2 sacks, 10 ounces, 2 cups each shredded Monterey Jack or sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Lightly crush the chips by popping open the bag and giving the chips a few light whacks with a frying pan ¿ careful that they don't fly out of the sack! Hold the bag loosely at the top with 1 hand while you crush the chips with the other.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil ¿ 2 turns of the pan. Add the beef to the skillet, brown and crumble it, 5 minutes. To the browned meat, add half the jalapeno peppers, 3/4 of the chopped onions and all of the garlic. Season the meat with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook together 5 minutes more, then add the water and reduce heat to low. Adjust salt, to taste.
  • Halve and separate the avocados. Remove pit with a spoon. With the skin in tact, using a small knife, dice the avocado while still in the skin. Scoop out the diced flesh and place in a bowl. Combine tomatoes, remaining onions, jalapenos, and cilantro gently with avocado and dress the salad with the juice of 1 lemon, extra-virgin olive oil, and salt, to your taste.
  • Layer a 1 or 2 handfuls of chips in soup or chili bowls and top with a handful of cheese. Fill bowls with taco meat and top with more cheese, then mound up some salad on top and serve.
