Tangy, Simple Guacamole Verde with Tomatillo Salsa

This is a thicker, easily chip-dippable version of the guacamole that you find in so many central Mexican taquerias. That taqueria version is thin enough to splash on steak tacos and the like, but packing a spicy wallop that precludes hungry taco eaters from using too much. Tacos are typically inexpensive fare; anything with avocado isn’t. Though all guacamole is good guacamole in my book, I have to admit that this has been my favorite guacamole for decades now.

    In Mexico we also grill the garlic along with the Serrano and tomatillo, and add a little bit of lime juice.

    @@emmgeevideo I am from Mexico and in every household I’ve had the privilege to be invited to cook with the ladies at their kitchens (grandmothers, aunts, cousins, comadres) and all of them include fresh garlic, toasted garlic and at most garlic powder. Garlic is part of the Mexican culture. Mind you that I know because I have a large and extended family in the north, central and southern part of Mexico 😅 Mexican cuisine is awarded as a cultural heritage of humanity, so enjoy it however you like it. 😅

    Not sure if anyone will see this but, you should teach people how to safely remove avocado pits without the knife. If you're about to smash them anyway, you don't even need a spoon. Just push on the other side of the avocado. It pops right out. Using a knife 🔪 there are thousands of people that cut their hands ✋️ and go to the ER just to look cool like a pro chef. 👨‍🍳 It's not worth it.
