To go with the tamales I made salsa de aguacate/avocado salsa. I was hoping the make the southwest green salsa I keep getting at restaurants, but it ended up more like an avocado sauce with some tang due to the tomatillos. It’s still good.

update 20141215:

I asked Reina how she makes her green salsa, and she said it’s nothing but fresh avocado, serranos (like 1 avocado:1 serrano ratio), and salt to taste. No wonder it’s so hot at Coco Loco or wherever! I probably can add a tomatillo to mine to round it out so it’s not so hot for me.
