Tomatillo salsa and hot sauce give guacamole a smooth consistency, brightness and heat to the creamy avocados.
Ingredients
Avocados
Finely diced red or sweet onion
Salsa Verde (I find grabbing extra at a neighborhood salsa bar to be the best strategy here. Also, I like the color to be as bright green as possible, so using this instead of red salsa appeases me. I also just prefer tomatillo)
Cilantro (a solid palm full, adjust for taste), chopped pretty finely
Hearty amount of lime, keeps it fresher, and I like the tang
Very finely chopped jalapeño, I go easy
Few squirts of hot sauce for heat, but not so much that it darkens the bright greenness of the guac
Pinches of salt and pepper to bring everything out
Probably a little less than half a red onion for 3-4 avocados. Excuse me lack of measurements, probably a couple of salsa bar containers of salsa verde. I'd use very little jalapeño (less than one), just because I prefer my guac to be richer than it is spicy. 2-3 dashes of hot sauce.
Instructions
In a bowl, combine ½ a minced red onion, chopped cilantro, a small amount of jalapeno and salsa verde.
Add 3-4 avocados, the juice of 2 limes and a few hits of hot sauce.
Fold together until just shy of desired avocado chunkiness.
Season with salt until pepper to taste and mix to desired consistency.
