TASTY TOMATILLO GUACAMOLE

Steps:
- Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers into a saucepan over medium heat, and pour in enough water to cover. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the tomatillos soften and change color from bright green to a yellow-green color, 5 to 8 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the tomatillo mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, about 1 minute; mix in salt, cilantro, and lime juice. Blend again for a few seconds just to mix.
- Scoop out the avocado flesh, and place into the blender; blend until well mixed. Adjust salt, cilantro, and lime juice before serving.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
- Choose the right avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Prepare the avocados properly: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Use fresh ingredients: Use fresh lime juice, cilantro, and onions for the best flavor.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Leave some chunks of avocado for a more textured guacamole.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh, so make it just before you plan to eat it.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods. It is a healthy snack or appetizer and can also be used as a topping for tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. With its creamy texture and fresh flavor, guacamole is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
