Ingredients

• 4 medium (husked and rinsed) Tomatillos
• 1 large (ripe) Avocado
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 small (seeded for less heat, optional) Jalapeño
• 0.5 cup (loosely packed) Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 3 tablespoons (or as needed for consistency) Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the tomatillos in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tomatillos turn a pale green and are soft to the touch. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked tomatillos, avocado (peeled and pitted), garlic, jalapeño, cilantro leaves, lime juice, olive oil, and salt.

Step 3

Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 4

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.

Step 5

Transfer the sauce to a bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Allow the sauce to return to room temperature and stir before serving if chilled.
