I originally found this in a Junior League Cookbook from El Paso, Texas. It is called Mantequilla de pobre (Poor man's butter). I have tweaked the original recipe by adding garlic, jalapeño and a can of mild green chilies. People actually devour this - hardly coming up for air! I am frequently asked for this recipe, I am posting it so that I can just send the link! If I remember correctly, I usually end up adding a bit more of the red wine vinegar than is called for here. I think that really makes it! Don't omit the cilantro!! Ingredients:
4 tomatoes, finely diced |
4 avocados, peeled and finely diced |
2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced |
2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced |
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped mild green chilies |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
2 -3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/3 cup red wine vinegar |
corn tortilla chips |
Directions:
1. Mix chopped ingredients together; add salt.
2. Add cilantro, oil and vinegar.
3. Chill 1 hour.
4. Mix again.
5. Taste and add a bit more red wine vinegar if you like.
6. Serve with chips.
