Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Tomatillos
- 3 medium Avocados
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup, finely diced Red onion
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue. Pat them dry.
Place the tomatillos, garlic cloves (unpeeled), and jalapeño pepper on the hot pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tomatillos are blistered and slightly softened, the garlic is charred, and the jalapeño is blackened on all sides.
Remove the ingredients from the heat. Let them cool slightly. Peel the charred skin off the garlic and remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder guacamole.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Roughly chop the charred tomatillos, jalapeño, and peeled garlic, then add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, red onion, and cumin (if using) to the bowl.
Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash and combine the ingredients. Leave it chunky or make it smoother, depending on your preference.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or salt if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a taco topping, or alongside your favorite Mexican dishes.
