Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 2 pieces Jalapeño peppers
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 pieces White onion
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 1 pieces Avocado
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and cilantro thoroughly.
In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil and add the Roma tomatoes and jalapeño peppers. Boil for 5 minutes until slightly softened. Drain and set aside to cool.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop half a white onion.
In a blender or food processor, add the boiled tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic cloves, and chopped onion.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the blender.
Add fresh cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water to the blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the salsa is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water and blend again.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprig of cilantro (optional).
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
