If you can't decide whether to have salsa or guacamole with your tortilla chips, combine both to create a salsa guacamole recipe. Use fresh tomatoes and avocados or start with a jar of ready made salsa if you're short on time.
Instructions
1. Dice two cups of fresh tomatoes. Mix the tomatoes (or a jar of salsa) in a medium bowl with one-fourth cup of white or green onions.
2. Chop two to four tablespoons of cilantro. Add the cilantro to the tomatoes and onions, along with one-fourth teaspoon of sea or kosher salt and some black pepper to taste.
3. Sliver one garlic clove and add it to the salsa mixture.
4. Seed one or two jalapeno peppers, depending on the level of heat you want your salsa guacamole to have. Chop the peppers finely and add them to the salsa. Set the salsa aside.
5. Pit and peel three or four ripe avocados. Cut them into smaller pieces and mash them in a separate bowl from the salsa mix.
6. Stir 2 Tbsp. of lime juice, 1/2 tsp. of kosher or sea salt and one-half teaspoons of red pepper sauce into the mashed avocados. Add another slivered garlic clove, and mix all the guacamole ingredients thoroughly to blend.
7. Scoop the guacamole into a large serving bowl. Pour the salsa over the guacamole or blend it all together. Serve with tortilla chips, quesadillas or vegetables.
