Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Peel and chop the onions into quarters. Place the tomatillos, onions, garlic, and jalapeños on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil.
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes—until the exteriors are blistered but the insides are still slightly raw.
- Meanwhile, half the avocados, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the jalapeños in half and scrape out the seeds. Discard the seeds.
- Place half of the tomatillos, onions, jalapeños, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until mostly smooth.
- Add half of the cumin, salt, cilantro and avocado. Pulse until the avocado is pureed into the mixture. Taste for salt.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients. If you desire an extra tangy quality, add a bit of lime juice at the end.
Notes
- While I wouldn't recommend canning anything with avocados in it, you can absolutely freeze this salsa for later!
