Tex Mex Green Sauce Recipes

TEX-MEX GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl mash avocados and cream cheese together. Add remaining ingredients except tortilla chips and combine well until smooth.
• Can also be made in a food processor or blender. Just dump in all ingredients and blend or process until smooth.
• I usually combine everything except the tomatoes then use an immersion blender. Then add the tomatoes and blend lightly until combined but with some texture remaining.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
