Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Tomatillos
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.25 cup White onion
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel and rinse the tomatillos to remove their sticky residue.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the whole tomatillos, jalapeño, and garlic cloves (in their skins). Roast them, turning occasionally, until charred and softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the garlic cloves from their skins and discard the skins. Set the roasted tomatillos, jalapeño, and garlic aside to cool slightly.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Roughly chop the roasted jalapeño (remove the seeds if you prefer less heat) and add it to the blender along with the roasted tomatillos and garlic.
Add the chopped onion, cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, salt, and water to the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes.
