This is my approximation of Taco Deli's Dona Salsa. It's different, but I like it. I would guess that Taco Deli's does not have either lime juice or avacado, and I think they use jalapenos, but I had an avacado going rotten and a lime about to turn into a marble so I used them and the results were tasty and HOT. This one is for real fans of mouth burning heat. You could probably use milder peppers, but I love the taste of serranos, and we have them coming out of our ears from our late blooming plants.
about 6 serrano peppers (I used 8, but as you can see I have rather short stumpy serranos)
1/4 cup oil
sea salt to taste
juice of one lime
1 ripe avacado
1 clove garlic
Toss serranos in a high heat oil and roast under the broiler a bit*--only enough to be tinged with brown because you're not going to peel them. Throw them in the blender with all of the other ingredients except the oil. Slowly pour in the oil with the blender on--carefully! Try to keep the lid on and pour through the pour spout or sneak it under the lid--you don't want this stuff spraying you in the face! You will have to stop and scrape the sides a few times but it gets easier as you pour in more oil. Keep at it until you have a smooth green sauce. Great on sandwhiches, eggs, tacos, etc. Taste before you put on anything so you know what you are getting into:)
*I don't actually know how safe this is. Are you supposed to put oil under the broiler? It might be better to roast them dry, steam them in a plastic bag, and then peel them. Try my method at your own risk and have the fire extinguisher handy.
