Skinny guacamole

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 smalls Tomatillos, skinned, rinsed & quartered
1 Clove garlic
¼ cup Canned diced green chilies (I used Ortega)
3 Sprigs cilantro
1 Avocado, peeled, pitted, & cut in several pieces
3 tablespoons Fat-free sour cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lime juice, to taste
¼ cup Onion, diced
⅓ cup Fresh tomato, diced
Hot sauce, to t

Directions

Using a blender or food processor, process the tomatillos with garlic, chilies, and cilantro to puree. Add the avocado and sour cream, processing just enough to combine. Season to taste with salt, pepper, hot sauce, and lime juice. Stir in onions and tomatoes by hand.

>From the cookbook: "This is a chunky-style guacamole that extends one avocado and helps reduce fat and calories. Light sour cream, non-fat sour cream, and fat-free cream cheese all work well in this recipe. If you don't mind a few extra calories, use two avocados and add a little fresh lemon juice. The tomatillos help keep the color fresh." Lou's note: This is NOT guacamole, but it tastes pretty good. My tennis team thought it needed some hot sauce to pep it up. I served it at a leauge match and was reluctant to "hot" it up too much because of differing preferences. I would have liked it hotter myself.
