Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe avocados
- 4 medium Tomatillos
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 large Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 large Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Husk and rinse the tomatillos to remove any sticky residue.
Heat a dry skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the tomatillos and cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until softened and slightly charred. Set aside to cool.
Slice the jalapeño lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat, if desired. Roughly chop the jalapeño, red onion, and garlic cloves.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, chopped garlic, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro leaves, juice from the lime, and olive oil. Blend until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados into a creamy texture, leaving some chunks if desired.
Pour the tomatillo mixture into the bowl with the mashed avocados and gently fold until well combined.
Season the dip with salt and ground cumin. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt as needed.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with additional cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos or burritos.
