Ingredients
- 3 avocados remove pits and skin
- 6 tomatillos husks removed
- 2 serrano chiles stems removed, chopped (See Note 1)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 small white onion diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- At this stage, the guacamole salsa will be warm. If you prefer, chill salsa in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and top with diced onion and chopped cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and limes (optional) to squeeze on top.
