Ingredients
- 4-5 medium tomatillos
- 1 clove garlic (skin on)
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 2 haas avocado
- ¼ teaspoon lime zest
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- ¼ cup cilantro
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup white onion minced
Instructions
- Remove the husk from 4-5 medium tomatillos and rinse them well. Slice the tomatillos crosswise. Set aside.
- Slice 1 medium jalapeno in half, vertically and remove the seeds and white membrane.
- Heat the skillet over medium high heat and spray with nonstick vegetable spray. Arrange the tomatillos, jalapeños and the 1 clove garlic (skin on) in the pan. Cook the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes or until they start to blister and become fragrant.
- Use a pair of tongs to turn the vegetables and continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes, until they're softened. Remove from heat.
- Remove the skin from the blistered garlic and discard. Transfer the tomatillos, jalapeño and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times until fairly smooth.
- Add ¼ cup cilantro,¼ teaspoon lime zest, 2 teaspoons lime juice and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Pulse until the cilantro breaks down to combine with the tomatillos.
- Peel and seed two avocados and transfer them to the food processor. Pulse until the salsa is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the avocado salsa to a bowl and sprinkle with minced white onion and extra cilantro leaves for garnish. Serve with chips or use as a creamy avocado sauce for tacos, burritos and more.
Notes
- You can serve this immediately, or if you're saving it for later, transfer the dip to an airtight container. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the container and lightly press the plastic into the salsa's surface. This will prevent it from discoloring over the course of a few hours. It can be made 4-5 hours ahead of serving.
