Creamy Avocado Salsa Recipe

Mild Mexican taquería style creamy avocado salsa which reminds me of the salsa that they serve with tostadas at La Siberia in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. heavy Mexican cream cuts the burn from the serrano chile and softens the flavor. Tomatillos give it a pleasant tang. An easy to make kid-friendly salsa!
