Ingredients

• 3 large Tomatillos
• 3 medium Avocados
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cup, finely diced Red onion
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue. Pat them dry.

Step 3

Place the tomatillos, garlic cloves (unpeeled), and jalapeño pepper on the hot pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tomatillos are blistered and slightly softened, the garlic is charred, and the jalapeño is blackened on all sides.

Step 4

Remove the ingredients from the heat. Let them cool slightly. Peel the charred skin off the garlic and remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder guacamole.

Step 5

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.

Step 6

Roughly chop the charred tomatillos, jalapeño, and peeled garlic, then add them to the bowl with the avocado.

Step 7

Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, red onion, and cumin (if using) to the bowl.

Step 8

Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash and combine the ingredients. Leave it chunky or make it smoother, depending on your preference.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or salt if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a taco topping, or alongside your favorite Mexican dishes.
