TEX-MEX GREEN SAUCE
Found this on the internet years ago. It is now a family favorite and I make it every year for the snack table at Thanksgiving. I usually omit the green chiles because I'm a wimp. Prep time is a guess, I'm notoriously slow in the kitchen. Cook time is chill time.

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.
NINFA'S GREEN SAUCE
This green sauce is popular in many Mexican restaurants around Houston. Ninfa's was one of the first to serve this sauce. The recipe has been printed in the Houston Chronicle several times. I've adapted it slightly. Mama Ninfa Rodriquez Laurenzo opened the original Ninfa's Restaurant on Navigation street in 1973. Her food differed from the usual Tex-Mex restaurants in town. She seemed to achieve fame in the kitchen overnight. Some of her famous guests included George Bush, Michael Douglas, John Travolta, Rock Hudson, and Aerosmith! Mama Ninfa lost her battle with cancer last year, but her much loved Mexican food lives on. The original Ninfa's is still there, and there are several other locations here in Houston as well.

MEXICAN GREEN SAUCE
Most recipes are calling for green chilies....this one uses fresh tomatillos and jalapeños. This sauce is hot and goes great with enchilada, tacos or frittatas. From Fast, Fresh & Spicy Vegetarian by John Ettinger. One pound of tomatillos is around 11.

- In a stockpot, add all of the ingredients besides the cilantro, honey, optional spinach if using, and lime juice. (Those will be added fresh.)
- Add the chopped veggies to the stockpot and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until all of the vegetables soften. Remove from heat and cool 10-15 minutes.
- Pour this mixture into a blender. Add all of the rest of the ingredients. Blend for 1-2 minutes. Taste for salt, it will likely need about 1 t. more.
- Wash out the original pot you boiled the tomatillos in. Pour the blended salsa verde sauce back in the pot and return it to the heat. Bring to a boil and boil it for 5 minutes, scraping the bottom with a rubber spatula to avoid burning the bottom. When the salsa verde is the thickness you desire, remove it from the heat and season to taste with additional lime juice, salt, or even a little bit of honey if needed to balance the flavors.
