πŸ₯‘ Experience the fresh, tangy flavors of tomatillos paired with creamy avocado in this vibrant Mexican salsa.
🌢️ Perfect as a versatile dip or topping, this salsa delivers a balanced heat and rich texture for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: About 4 cups

Ingredients

– 8 tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed

– 1 serrano pepper, stemmed

– 2 jalapeΓ±o peppers, stemmed

– 1 unpeeled garlic clove

– 3 large avocados, pitted and peeled

– 1 handful cilantro

– 1-2 cups water

– 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1-First Steps: Roasting the Ingredients: Husk and rinse the tomatillos thoroughly. Place the tomatillos, serrano pepper, jalapeΓ±o peppers, and garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast them until blackened, about 5 minutes, then flip and roast for another 4 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning for the best results.

2-First Steps: Roasting the Ingredients: After roasting, let the peppers steam in a sealed plastic bag for 10 minutes to loosen the skins. Peel the skins off the peppers and garlic, then discard them. This simple process enhances the flavor and texture of your Tomatillo Avocado Salsa.

3-Blending Everything Together: In a blender, combine the cooled tomatillos, peeled peppers, roasted garlic, avocados, cilantro, and salt. Add water slowly and blend until you get your desired consistency. Husk and rinse the tomatillos thoroughly under cold water to remove any sticky residue before starting, as this ensures a fresh taste.

4-Blending Everything Together: For the best way to roast ingredients, remember to char them until softened, adding that smoky touch. If you want to make it milder, remove seeds from the peppers after roasting. This step-by-step guide works well for home cooks and food enthusiasts alike.
