Hatch Chili Salsa

Hot summer days, spicy green chili salsa with a bowl of chip… You would think who would want to do that! That’s just asking for trouble the following morning…if you know what I mean. :-)
I found this wonderfully aromatic batch of hatch chili, hot of the roaster in the farmer’s market and immediately thought of making myself some spicy bowl of chili. It was big hit with my family and friends.

Ingredients
Roasted Hatch Chilies – 5 nos (pealed and finely chopped)
Red onion – 1 small chopped
Ripe tomatoes – 2 chopped
Avocado – 2 nos
Cilantro – handful chopped
Lime Juice – 2 tablespoons
Salt to taste

Method
Peal off the charred parts of the roasted hatch chilies and finely chop them. Chop onion and tomatoes into the same sized pieces and place them in the bowl with the chilies. Deseed the avocado and scope out the fruit and chop it into small pieces and add it to the bowl of chilies,onion and tomatoes. Add salt and lime juice to the mix and incorporate it well with all the veggies. Add chopped cilantro and mix well. Serve it at room temperature or chilled with a bowl of tortilla chips.
