Salsa Guacachile- Oaxacan Green Jalapeno Pepper Salsa

Salsa Guacachile- Oaxacan Green Jalapeno Pepper Salsa

The trick to achieve the creaminess, color and texture of an avocado guacamole with using avocado is in the ingredients used, especially by using oil to fry the jalapenos then whipping it in a process very similar to that of mayonnaise. Leave in pepper's seeds and pith if you like it hot. Remove both for a slightly less intense salsa.
