Give your restaurant's fresh guacamole a little something different with the unusual lemony flavor of tomatillos. Tomatillos resemble little green tomatoes and can be found in specialty produce stores and well-stocked supermarkets. They are also sold canned if you can't find them fresh.

Ingredients:
4 tomatillos
3 canned green chilies, seeded
2 large ripe avocados
