   2      sm            Tomatillos --
                        - skinned, rinsed & quartered
   1      cl            Garlic
     1/4  c             Canned diced green chiles
   3                    Cilantro sprigs
   1                    Avocado -- peeled, pitted, &
                        - cut in several pieces
   3      tb            Fat-free sour cream
                        Salt & pepper -- to taste
                        Lime juice -- to taste
     1/4  c             Onion -- diced

                        Hot sauce -- to taste

"This is a chunky-style guacamole that extends one avocado and helps
 reduce fat and calories. Light sour cream, non-fat sour cream, and
 fat-free cream cheese all work well in this recipe. If you don't
 mind a few extra calories, use two avocados and add a little fresh
 lemon juice. The tomatillos help keep the color fresh."

Using a blender or food processor, process the tomatillos with
garlic, chiles, and cilantro to puree. Add the avocado and sour
cream, processing just enough to combine. Season to taste with salt,
pepper, hot sauce, and lime juice. Stir in onions and tomatoes by
hand.

Lou's Note:

This is not guacamole, but it tastes pretty good. My tennis team
thought it needed some hot sauce to pep it up. I served it at a
league match and was reluctant to "hot" it up too much because of
differing preferences.  I would have liked it hotter myself.
