Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (husked and rinsed) Tomatillos
- 1 large (ripe) Avocado
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 small (seeded for less heat, optional) Jalapeño
- 0.5 cup (loosely packed) Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 3 tablespoons (or as needed for consistency) Water
Instructions
Place the tomatillos in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn a pale green and are soft to the touch. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked tomatillos, avocado (peeled and pitted), garlic, jalapeño, cilantro leaves, lime juice, olive oil, and salt.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
Transfer the sauce to a bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Allow the sauce to return to room temperature and stir before serving if chilled.
