Instructions

  1. To a medium saucepan, add the tomatillos and chiles, and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook 2-3 minutes. Carefully place tomatillos and chiles in a food processor bowl, reserving cooking water.
  2. Pulse together cooked tomatillos, chiles and garlic until blended. Add avocado and pulse until blended. Add a little of the cooking liquid to thin to a salsa consistency. Taste and season with salt.
  3. At this stage, the guacamole salsa will be warm. If you prefer, chill salsa in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with diced onion and chopped cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and limes (optional) to squeeze on top.

Notes

  • For less heat, feel free to substitute fresh jalapeños or Anaheim chiles for the Serrano chiles.
