Tomatillo Guacamole with Tequila
Tequila in guacamole, yes please! Tomatillos aren't a typical ingredient but I just can't resist making recipes that are a little out of the ordinary.

Ingredients
- 6 oz tomatillos, husked and rinsed about 4 large ones
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 serrano chiles* seeded and finely chopped
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large avocados
- 1 tablespoon tequila
Instructions
- Preheat broiler and broil tomatillos on a baking sheet turning them until they are charred all over, 7-10 minutes. Alternately, this can be done over the flame of a gas stove using tongs. Set aside to cool.
- Combine onion, chiles, cilantro, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Coarsely chop the tomatillos and add them to the onion mixture mashing everything with a fork.
- Pit and peel avocados. Add to the bowl and mash slowly incorporating the other ingredients until guacamole is evenly mixed but still chunky. Add tequila and stir.
- Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
*Serrano chiles - The smaller the chiles get, the hotter they are. Use larger jalapeños for a bit less heat. Find the right amount of heat for you and substitute accordingly.
