Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Tomatillos
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove the sticky residue.
Place the tomatillos, jalapeño pepper, and garlic cloves on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Roast them for about 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop char marks and soften.
Transfer the roasted tomatillos, jalapeño, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
Peel and chop the white onion into quarters and add half of it to the blender.
Add the cilantro, avocado (scoop out the flesh), and the juice of one lime to the blender.
Season with salt and add water to help the mixture blend smoothly.
Blend the ingredients on high for 1-2 minutes until the salsa is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the salsa verde with avocado to a bowl and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
