Ingredients

• 6 whole Tomatillos
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.25 cup White onion
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and rinse the tomatillos to remove their sticky residue.

Step 2

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the whole tomatillos, jalapeño, and garlic cloves (in their skins). Roast them, turning occasionally, until charred and softened, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the garlic cloves from their skins and discard the skins. Set the roasted tomatillos, jalapeño, and garlic aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Step 5

Roughly chop the roasted jalapeño (remove the seeds if you prefer less heat) and add it to the blender along with the roasted tomatillos and garlic.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion, cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, salt, and water to the blender.

Step 7

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes.
