Ingredients
-
6 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed
-
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
-
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1 small jalapeño, seeded and diced (adjust for spice level)
-
1/4 cup white onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
Juice of 1 lime
-
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/4 cup water (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Tomatillos
-
Rinse the tomatillos under warm water to remove their sticky residue.
-
If you prefer a raw salsa, chop them into quarters. For a slightly milder flavor, boil them for 5 minutes until softened, then drain and cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocados
-
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Step 3: Blend the Ingredients
-
Add the tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, onion, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
-
Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
-
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed. If it’s too thick, add a little more water or lime juice.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
-
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats.
