Camino Real Salsa

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"This is originally from a May 1987 issue of Bon Appetit in the RSVP section. It was requested from The Camino Real Hotel in Mexico City. It's great with corn tortilla chips and a frosty Margarita. The addition of the chopped avocado and roasting the vegetables really makes this a special salsa!"
