well-filled-guacamole

Photo by: Joseph De Leo

Some of the best recipes for popular dishes are ones that contain an element of surprise. The Well-Filled Guacamole is such a dish. No tomatoes. No onions. Instead tomatillos and lime juice. After one bite you’ll join the praising chorus.

Yield : Makes about 2 cups
Prep Time : Takes 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 medium avocados
  • 3 medium tomatillos
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lime Juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop out the pulp and place it in a bowl.

2. Remove the husks from the tomatillos. Rinse the tomatillos; chop them fine. Add to the avocado, along with the lime juice and salt. Mash with a fork until the avocado is mostly smooth with a few lumps here and there. Use right away or store as described in Chopped Avocado.

Notes

Any of the variations described for Chopped Avocado is equally delicious for this special guacamole.
