Steps:
- Halve and pit the avocados. Set aside half an avocado for the salsa. Put the remaining avocado flesh in a blender with the buttermilk, yogurt, cilantro, garlic, chile, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more chile if desired, and then blend again. Transfer to a bowl and stir in enough cold water to thin the soup to a pleasing consistency, about 1/2 cup. Stir in the lime juice, or more to taste, and season with salt. Chill thoroughly.
- Just before serving, prepare the salsa: In a bowl, stir together the tomato, onion, cilantro, chile, and garlic. Cut the reserved avocado half into 1/4-inch dice and fold it in gently, and then season to taste with salt and lime juice and stir again gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
- If the soup has thickened in the refrigerator, whisk in ice water to thin it to the desired consistency. Taste for seasoning. Divide among 6 bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of salsa and serve.

AVOCADO TOMATO AND OLIVE SALSA
This is a HEARTY and oh-so-delicious salsa/salad/dip (I can not really decide what to consider it). Great on tortilla chips or right off of a spoon!! It's a good idea to soak your diced avacados briefly in a little lemon juice right after prepping to help retain the nice color...

STEAK TACOS WITH AVOCADO AND CHARRED TOMATO SALSA
Steps:
- 1. Place tomatoes and chili on a roasting tray and set under the broiler. Roast, turning once, until charred all over, about 12 minutes total. Place charred tomatoes and chili in a food processor and pulse until a coarse salsa forms, about 1 minute. Season with salt to taste. Set aside. 2. Season steak with salt. Set a grill pan over high heat. Once pan is very hot, swirl in oil. Lay in steak and sear until charred and medium rare, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove steak from heat and set aside. 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss onions with cilantro and a pinch of salt. In another small bowl, make guacamole: Mash avocado with a fork. Season to taste with juice from a few lime wedges and salt. 4. Set a stovetop burner to high. Using tongs, hold each tortilla over burner until soft and charred in spots, less than 1 minute per side. Slice steak thinly against the grain. 5. Smear guacamole over tortillas. Top with sliced steak and onion-cilantro mixture. Serve with salsa and remaining lime wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The avocado should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. This ensures a creamy and flavorful salsa.
- Use fresh, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are ripe, juicy, and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Don't over-chop the ingredients: Roughly chop the tomatoes and avocado into small chunks to maintain their texture and prevent the salsa from becoming too mushy.
- Balance the flavors: Adjust the amount of lime juice, salt, and cilantro to your taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a bit of heat.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled chicken: This salsa is a versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes.
