I
think that this salsa is served at almost every taqueria (taco
stand) in Mexico, north, south, east and west. It gives you
the great taste of guacamole but it is really inexpensive
to make..... easy too. As a matter of fact it is probably
the easiest to make of all salsas and goes well with virtually
everything. This should be a thin, pourable salsa - about
as thick as a good, hearty split pea soup. Mild, medium or
hot, you decide.
MILD
This one is so easy you don't need an ingredient list. Just
take a ripe avocado and put it in a blender (after you peel
it and take the pit out) and add water slowly 'til you have
the right consistancy. Taste it and maybe add a little salt.
MEDIUM
Just the same as above but add a jalapeno or serrano chile
to the blender.
HOT
The same as above but add more chiles.
A
LITTLE FANCIER
1. Add a half an onion, a clove or two of garlic and some
cilantro to the blender.
2. Add the above plus a couple of raw tomatillos (husked and
washed).
MY
FAVORITE
Take a half dozen tomatillos, a couple of whole jalapenos,
half an onion and a couple of cloves of garlic --- put them
in a small lidded pan with a little water. Let them cook slowly
until the chiles and tomatillos have turned from a bright
green to an olive drab. Let them cool and put them in the
blender (save the liquid) with a ripe avocado or two. You
want this salsa to be pourable so if it's too thick - thin
it with the water you cooked the chiles in. This salsa is
great on enchiladas - as a matter of fact it is always served
over Enchiladas Suizas and the enchiladas that are served
with 'Carne Asada ala Tampiqueno'
