Ingredients:

 

5

Avocados
 

4

fresh Anaheim chilies
 

3

firm-ripe tomatoes
 

3

green onions
 

2

garlic, cloves, peeled, pressed, or minced
 

¼ cup

fresh cilantro, chopped
    Salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Place chilies and tomatoes in a 10- by 15-inch pan.  Broil about 4 inches from heat, turning as needed, until vegetables are charred on all sides, about 5 minutes.  Cool.  Peel and stem chilies; for less heat, discard seeds.  Peel tomatoes, cut in half crosswise, and squeeze out and discard seeds.  Finely chop tomatoes and chilies and place in a bowl. 

  2. Add onions, garlic, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.  If thicker than desired, add a little water to thin. 

  3. Peel and mash avocados in a bowl.  Add mixture to bowl to taste. 

Tips:

If you are in a hurry, you can use canned green chilies and canned tomatoes, but it's more fun fresh.
