Ingredients

  • 1  garlic bulb
  • 1/4 of one medium red onion
  • 6 golf-ball sized tomatillos, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, roughly cut
  • 1/4 cup of cilantro
  • pinch of salt to taste
  • dash of fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • Juice from half a lime
  • 3 teaspoons of olive oil

Roasting the Garlic
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the top-quarter off of the head of the cloves. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes, or until soft. Let the garlic cool down. You can pick each clove out with a fork or knife. I ususally just turn it over and squeeze out the cloves. Place the cloves in the food processor.

Add the rest of the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until it reaches guacamole consistency. Serve w/ toasted whole wheat pita chips, or with lime-flavored tortilla chips.
