Tomatillo Avocado Salsa

By JanetLynn198

Perfect blend of flavors with the tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, onion and avocado. The lime gives it a little tartness, and helps help the salsa from turning brown. Add lots of fresh cilantro, if you like it.

Ingredients

• 6 to 8 tomatillos, peeled, washed and roughly chopped
• 2 to 3 serrano or jalapeño peppers, roughly chopped, removing seeds is optional for a more mild salsa
• 1/4 of a white onion, chopped
• 2 large avocado
• Handful of washed cilantro (I like a lot of cilantro for this recipe)
• Juice of 1 large lime
• Salt to taste
• Optional: Fresh minced garlic

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all of the ingredients in the blender. Blend on high until smooth. Taste for salt. I sometimes will add a tiny bit of water for easier blending.

Yields about 4 cups if using 2 avocados.

Tip: For a taquería-style avocado salsa, poach the tomatillos, chiles and onions until soft. Let cool, then blend as directed with remaining fresh ingredients.
