Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large ripe but firm avocados
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
2 heaping tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 serrano or jalapeño chile, seeds removed for less heat if desired, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon toasted and ground cumin seeds
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Kosher or sea salt
For the salsa:
1 large plum (Roma) tomato, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup finely minced white onion
2 heaping tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 serrano or jalapeño chile, seeds removed for less heat if desired, finely minced
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
Kosher or sea salt
Freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Halve and pit the avocados. Set aside half an avocado for the salsa. Put the remaining avocado flesh in a blender with the buttermilk, yogurt, cilantro, garlic, chile, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more chile if desired, and then blend again. Transfer to a bowl and stir in enough cold water to thin the soup to a pleasing consistency, about 1/2 cup. Stir in the lime juice, or more to taste, and season with salt. Chill thoroughly.
  • Just before serving, prepare the salsa: In a bowl, stir together the tomato, onion, cilantro, chile, and garlic. Cut the reserved avocado half into 1/4-inch dice and fold it in gently, and then season to taste with salt and lime juice and stir again gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  • If the soup has thickened in the refrigerator, whisk in ice water to thin it to the desired consistency. Taste for seasoning. Divide among 6 bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of salsa and serve.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon pureed chipotle chile in adobo
Kosher salt
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
3 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped
12 grape tomatoes, cored and halved
2 green onions, green and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
1 serrano chile, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 3 limes
Splash canola oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 bunch watercress, thick stems removed, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 pound loose Mexican chorizo or breakfast sausage
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
12 large eggs, whisked until very smooth and fluffy
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Canola oil, for brushing
Eight 10-inch flour tortillas
2 cups grated Monterey Jack
1 cup grated cotija cheese, for garnish
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the black beans: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the beans, 1/2 cup water, and the chipotle and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water is reduced and beans are heated through and soft, about 20 minutes. Use a potato masher to mash the beans into a chunky paste. Taste, and season with salt as necessary. Stir in the cilantro, and then spread on a baking sheet to cool.
  • For the salsa: Put the avocados, tomatoes, green onions, serrano and some salt and pepper in a large bowl and fold together. Fold in the lime juice, oil, cilantro and watercress. Set aside.
  • For the chorizo filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet until it begins to shimmer. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes, stirring a few times. With a slotted spoon, remove the sausage to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Add the onions and peppers to the pan drippings and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes. If the chorizo is in large chunks, chop it coarsely, then stir it into the onions and peppers. Add the eggs, and scramble until soft curds form. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cilantro and remove from the heat.
  • To assemble: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a nonstick baking sheet with some oil. Spread a thin layer of the beans across the center of a tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with some of the chorizo filling and a handful of Monterey Jack. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, and then roll from the bottom into a tight cylinder. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining tortillas, beans, filling and cheese. Brush the tops and sides of the burritos with canola oil, and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and top with Avocado-Tomato-Watercress Salsa, cotija and cilantro leaves. Garnish the platter with lime wedges.

AVOCADO TOMATO AND OLIVE SALSA



Avocado Tomato and Olive Salsa image

This is a HEARTY and oh-so-delicious salsa/salad/dip (I can not really decide what to consider it). Great on tortilla chips or right off of a spoon!! It's a good idea to soak your diced avacados briefly in a little lemon juice right after prepping to help retain the nice color...

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped (1 cup)
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeño chili
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 bone-in chicken breasts (about 2 lb)
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 flour tortillas (8 inch), cut in half, then cut into 1/2-inch strips

Steps:

  • In medium glass or plastic bowl, gently mix all salsa ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, place chicken in shallow glass or plastic dish. In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup oil, the cumin and salt; pour over chicken. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken, skin sides up, in pan. Pour marinade over chicken. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 to 30 minutes longer, brushing occasionally with marinade, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (170°F).
  • In 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot. Cook tortilla strips in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden brown. Serve chicken topped with salsa. Serve with tortilla strips.

Tips:

  • Select ripe avocados: Choose avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. Ripe avocados will contribute a creamy texture and rich flavor to the salsa.
  • Use Roma tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are ideal for salsa because they have fewer seeds and less juice compared to other tomato varieties. This results in a salsa with a more concentrated tomato flavor and a better texture.
  • Chop the ingredients into small pieces: This will ensure that the salsa is evenly distributed and easy to scoop with tortilla chips or vegetables.
  • Season the salsa to taste: Start with a basic seasoning of salt, pepper, and lime juice. Then, taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, lime juice, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or refrigerate it for later: Tomato avocado salsa is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, bring the salsa to room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Tomato avocado salsa is a versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in various ways. It is a perfect dip for tortilla chips, a topping for tacos and burritos, or even a spread for sandwiches and wraps. With its vibrant colors, fresh flavors, and creamy texture, tomato avocado salsa is a delicious and healthy addition to any meal. Experiment with different ingredients and seasonings to create your own unique salsa recipe that suits your taste preferences.
