- ½ cup fresh cilantro packed
- ¼ cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lime juice about ½ lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook the Base: In a medium pot, add the tomatillos and jalapeños. Cover them with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 6-8 minutes until softened.
- Blend It Up: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos and jalapeños to a blender. Add the avocados, cilantro, onion, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste. Need more salt? A squeeze of lime? Adjust to your liking.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately with chips, tacos, or your favorite dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- Spice Level: Adjust the heat by leaving the seeds in the jalapeños or using spicier serrano peppers.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. The avocados may brown slightly, but the flavor will remain intact.
- Serving Suggestions: Perfect with tacos, tortilla chips, quesadillas, or as a topping for grilled meats.
