AZTEC GUACAMOLE

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.

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
Add some citrus: A squeeze of lime or lemon juice will help to brighten the flavor of your guacamole and prevent it from turning brown.
Add some acid: A small amount of acid, such as vinegar or yogurt, can also help to prevent your guacamole from turning brown.
Keep the guacamole covered: When you're not eating it, keep the guacamole covered in plastic wrap or an airtight container. This will help to prevent it from being exposed to air, which can cause it to turn brown.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan: When making guacamole in a blender, use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will help to prevent the guacamole from splattering and making a mess.
Don't over-blend the guacamole: Over-blending the guacamole can make it too smooth and runny. It's best to leave it slightly chunky.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, and family gatherings. With these tips, you can make guacamole that won't turn brown and that will be enjoyed by everyone.
