Description

This is a fresh and creamy green salsa, sort of a cross between guacamole and salsa verde. Put it on tacos, drizzle over grilled meats, or use it as a dip with some chips.

Ingredients

5 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1/3 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and cut into large chunks
1/3 cup water
1/2 lime, juiced
1 pinch ground black pepper
salt to taste

Directions

1 Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Cook tomatillos at a boil until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer tomatillos to a blender.
2 Combine jalapeno peppers, cilantro, onion, avocado, water, lime juice, and black pepper in the blender with the tomatillos; blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to serve.
