Aztec Guacamole image

I recently visited my brother and sister-in-law. She is a fabulous cook who learned from her mother growing up in Mexico City. She doesn't cook from recipes, but from memory and experience of how she was taught. We had a fabulous meal of beef tacos with this guacamole. I watched so I could make it at home. It's different than most because of the tomatillos, and it's wonderful with the beef. I posted the beef taco recipe separately.

Time 30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 avocados, cut in chunks
8 tomatillos
2 garlic cloves
1/4 medium onion, chopped
1 serrano pepper (may need more depending on heat of pepper and your heat tolerance)
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 fresh lime, juice of

Steps:

  • Rmove the husks from the tomatillos, wash them well, and roughly chop them.
  • Put the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Process for about eight seconds.
  • Add the avocado chunks, cilantro, salt, and lime juice to the food processor bowl. Process an additional ten seconds. The texture is supposed to be somewhat chunky - not a puree.
  • Taste to adjust seasoning. You may need to add more serrano pepper. The tomatillos and lime will keep the guacamole fresh and it won't turn brown.
