Ingredients

• 1 large avocado
• 3 medium tomatillos
• 1 large jalapeño
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.5 medium white onion
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 cups (packed) cilantro
• 0.25 cups sour cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Husk and rinse the tomatillos under cool running water to remove any sticky residue.

Step 2

Cut the tomatillos in half and place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, cut side down. Roast for 4-5 minutes until they develop charred spots.

Step 3

Remove the stem from the jalapeño and, if desired, remove the seeds for less heat. Roughly chop the jalapeño.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, jalapeño, avocado, garlic, onion, lime juice, cilantro, sour cream, olive oil, salt, and water.

Step 5

Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust for seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
