Ingredients

3 whole tomatillos
2 whole avocados
2 tablespoons lime juice
0.25 cup cilantro leaves
1 whole jalapeño pepper
1 whole garlic clove
0.25 cup red onion
0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the tomatillos by removing their husks and rinsing them under warm water to remove their sticky residue.

Step 2

Roughly chop the tomatillos into quarters to make blending easier.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, lime juice, cilantro leaves, jalapeño (with seeds removed for less heat, if preferred), garlic clove, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Finely chop the red onion and set aside.

Step 6

Transfer the tomatillo mixture to the bowl with the avocado. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados while incorporating the tomatillo blend. Leave the avocados slightly chunky for texture.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped red onion and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice to taste.

Step 8

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos and other dishes.
