    • The pulp of 2 Avocados.
    • 3 Tomatillos.
    • 1 Serrano Pepper.
    • The juice of 1/2 Lime.
    • 1/2 Onion.
    • 1 Garlic clove,
    • 1 cup of Chicken Stock.


    1. Blend very well the ingredients and then reserve.

    Cook the Salsa


    1. Finely chop 5 coriander sprigs and reserve.
    2. Heat in a saucepan over medium heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
    3. Also add in the saucepan:
    • The Mixture that was blended.
    • The Coriander that was minced.
    • Pepper to taste.
    • 1/2 tablespoon of Salt.


    1. Mix the saucepan ingredients and bring the guacamole salsa to a boil over high heat.
    2. When the guacamole salsa boils reduce to low heat and cook it for about 5 minutes, until it thickens a little and acquires a more intense color; stir occasionally.
