Description

Pureed avocados and tomatillos make this double green dip perfect for tortilla chip dipping and carne asada topping.

Ingredients

10 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems trimmed
3 avocados, peeled and pitted
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt to taste

Directions

1 Bring a pot of water to a boil and stir in tomatillos and jalapenos. Boil until tomatillos turn bright green and soft, about 10 minutes.
2 Place cilantro, avocados, cooked tomatillos, and cooked jalapenos into a blender, working in batches if necessary. Blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add about 1 tablespoon of tomatillo cooking water, or as needed, if salsa is too thick.
3 Stop the blender, and season the salsa with garlic powder and salt to taste. Blend again briefly to mix in the seasonings. Transfer to a bowl for serving.
