Pineapple Serrano salsa verde with avocado


12 medium tomatillos 

6 serrano peppers 

2 large onion (cut into quarters)

2 C fresh pineapple

2 small avocados

1 whole bunch of cilantro

2 whole garlic pods

1 T Baja Gold salt

1/2 T fresh cracked black pepper

the juice of 3 limes

1 C fresh orange juice

In a black iron skillet brown the tomatillos, serranos, garlic and onions. I use the broiler. After brown, let it cool. Then add to a Vitamix along with all the other ingredients and blend until smooth. This recipe is very flavorful and easy.

Texas Chili From Scratch #yeeha

Texas Chili from scratch! Through the years many well meaning folks have tried their level best to define Texas Chili. During the heyday of chili cooking competitions, CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) required contestants to create a stew of meat and gravy only. Fillers would disqualify you.
