Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole tomatillos
- 2 whole avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare the tomatillos by removing their husks and rinsing them under warm water to remove their sticky residue.
Roughly chop the tomatillos into quarters to make blending easier.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, lime juice, cilantro leaves, jalapeño (with seeds removed for less heat, if preferred), garlic clove, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Finely chop the red onion and set aside.
Transfer the tomatillo mixture to the bowl with the avocado. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados while incorporating the tomatillo blend. Leave the avocados slightly chunky for texture.
Stir in the chopped red onion and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice to taste.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos and other dishes.
