Creamy Avocado Salsa

If you like avocado you will love this creamy, rich fresh avocado salsa. The flavor of the ripe avocado shines and is enhanced by the other ingredients like lime, cilantro and serrano chili.

Creamy Avocado Salsa

You only need 10 minutes to prepare the salsa. It’s a great option when you want something fresh and healthy but you don’t have a lot of time for preparation. Kids love it because it?s creamy and isn?t all that hot. They won’t even know that you snuck something good for them onto their plate.

Typically, you would use the salsa on chicken filled taquitos or flautas. It also works really well on shredded beef tacos or tostadas. I have been told that it also goes well with a nice piece of fish although I haven’t tried it that way. You might want to.

The recipe calls for Mexican style sour cream which differs in flavor from the sour cream sold in the US. Don?t worry if you are unable to find it. Regular sour cream or yogurt work just as well. They just add a slightly different taste.

Ingredients:

2 large ripe avocados

1/2 cup of Mexican sour cream

2 cups of water

2 Serrano chilis chopped

1/4 of an onion chopped

2 teaspoons of chopped cilantro

Juice from 2 small limes

1 teaspoon salt

Makes 6 portions

Prep time: 10 minutes

Put the onion, serrano chili, cilantro, lime juice and 1 cup of water in the blender and pulse until smooth. Add the avocado, cream or yogurt and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth and creamy.

You know you have the right consistency when the salsa coats the back of a wooden spoon evenly. If it is too thick to blend add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency.

Use the avocado salsa the same day that you prepare it. It doesn?t keep all that well because the avocado turns dark. It?s still tastes great it just doesn?t look all that good.

Provecho!
