Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
• 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
• 2 tablespoons tequila
• ½ cup cream
• 2 small onions, chopped
• ½ cup crumbled Cotija cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, and cook for about a minute. Whisk in the flour with a fork so no lumps form. Cook and stir with the fork until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Place the avocado into a blender or food processor, and pour in the milk, cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. Pour into a heat proof bowl or casserole dish, and stir in the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 4

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in the tequila and cheese, and return to the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Stir and serve as a fondue.
