Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 medium Tomatillos
- 2 large Poblano peppers
- 1 large Jalapeño pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Cilantro
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 15 oz can Canned white beans
- 15 oz can Canned pinto beans
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Lime
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and wash the tomatillos. Place them on a baking sheet along with the poblano peppers and the jalapeño. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes until they are slightly charred.
Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Once roasted, remove the skins and seeds from the poblano and jalapeño peppers for a milder flavor, otherwise keep the seeds for more heat.
In a blender, combine the roasted tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeño, and cilantro. Blend until smooth.
Add the tomatillo mixture to the pot with the onions and garlic. Stir in the vegetable broth, white beans, and pinto beans.
Season with cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Dice the avocado and cut the lime into wedges.
Serve the chili verde piping hot, garnished with fresh avocado and a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
