Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole (medium-sized) Tomatillos
- 1 whole (adjust quantity for spice preference) Jalapeño peppers
- 1 whole (optional for extra heat) Serrano pepper
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 whole (medium-sized) White onion
- 1 cup (loosely packed) Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon (optional for added creaminess) Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 2 tablespoons (optional for thinning) Filtered water
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly under warm water to remove their sticky residue.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, roast the tomatillos, jalapeño, serrano (if using), and garlic cloves for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. The tomatillos should become soft and slightly charred, and the peppers and garlic will develop a nice roasted flavor.
While the tomatillos and peppers are roasting, roughly chop the white onion and set aside.
Once done roasting, transfer the tomatillos, peppers, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
Add the chopped onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and optional avocado oil to the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth or until your desired texture is achieved. If the salsa is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of filtered water to thin it out slightly.
Taste the salsa and add salt as needed, blending briefly to incorporate it evenly.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl or airtight container and let it cool to room temperature before serving. The flavors will meld and deepen as it rests.
Serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled vegetables and proteins.
