You guys. I’ve got a big exciting surprise for ya today! I made you a very special, extra cheesy, tomatillo salsa loaded poutine. I know. It’s decadent.
I know poutine is typically made with gravy and all that jazz, but I live in LA and there are still tomatillos at my farmers market! So I wanted to give this comforting dish a new spin. So I went ahead and fried up some french fries and then melted some cheese on top and topped it all off with a tomatillo avocado salsa sprinkled with chopped red onion and bacon.
I don’t know about you, but this just screams football food to me!
So let’s talk about this blender for a hot second.
Have you guys ever used a Blendtec? It’s kinda a dream come true. It’s super powerful and it made this tomatillo avocado salsa in literally 16 seconds flat. I timed it. And I did NO prep work. Like I didn’t chop up any of the veggies really, and just threw everything into the blender and let it go to work. Brilliance. 16 seconds later I was ready to go!
If I had to go do my wedding registry all over again, this would be at the top of my list! I can’t even being to tell you how fast it makes my smoothies in the morning. Can you imagine how quickly it would make a blended margarita come spring time when it’s time to lay out by the pool. It’s going to be a whole new world 🙂

I need one of these so bad!! They look beautiful sitting out and I use an old blender a lot. But, doesn’t do a very good job. I love hummus and to make smoothies. If I had this, I would try green smoothies and dips for Christmas parties!! Thank you!!!!

Fun recipe! My son and his friends often order the Californian Burrito at our local Taqueria. It’s a classic burrito stuffed with french fries as well! They love it!
Maybe I should start off by saying that I have never owned a blender… So, with that said, the first thing that I would make in my Blendtec blender would be “Hummus” I would make lots and lots of yummy Hummus, because Hummus is a delicious thing. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
