Second it mixed finely diced habanero and medium [between small corn kernel and large peppercorn sized] diced avocado to give a good bit of heat simultaneous with a creamy sweetness.

There was clearly very finely diced [rice grain sized] sweet onion, garlic and bell pepper in there as well.

Of course, there was fresh cilantro aplenty and some bright notes of citrus in the thickening sauce.

If I ever perfect it, I'll share. But suspect that the thickening agent is the result of some arcane slow simmering method/recipe rather any shortcuts with corn starch or somesuch.

I would love to see what this is about. Sounds very interesting. A salsa that has avocado? Very unique.
