Tomatillo Guacamole

Tonight we had quesedillas for dinner (pinto beans, pepper jack cheese, roasted red pepper, caramelized red onions and sauteed bell peppers) and I wanted to put something avacado-y on top but I also wanted to use the leftover tomatillo salsa...

Tomatillo Guacamole
The recipe is adapted from Good Life Eats.

1 large avocados
2 T red onion, minced
2 T cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
Mash avadaco and mix in the remaining ingredients.

However, if you do not have leftover tomatillo salsa on hand, here is one of my favorite guacamole variations:

Guacamole Cream
The recipe is adapted from Cinnamon Girl. I do not recommend her black bean burgers.

1 Avocado, mashed
2 tablespoons Sour Cream
1/4 cup red onion, minced
2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Lime juice, a big squeeze or two, to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine avocado, sour cream, red onion and cilantro in a small bowl. Season to taste with lime juice, salt and pepper.

I appreciate when you both share what is good and what didn't work.
