Ingredients:

• 5 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1–2 serrano or jalapeño peppers (adjust based on spice preference)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/4 cup onion, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt, to taste

---

Directions:

1. Cook the Tomatillos:

• Place the tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water.
• Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the tomatillos soften and turn a slightly dull green.
• Drain the water and let the tomatillos cool slightly.

2. Blend the Ingredients:

• In a blender or food processor, combine:
  • Cooked tomatillos
  • Avocado (peeled and pitted)
  • Serrano or jalapeño peppers
  • Garlic clove
  • Onion
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime juice
• Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Adjust Seasoning:

• Taste the salsa and add salt to your preference.
• If the salsa feels too thick, mix in a splash of water until it reaches your desired consistency.

4. Serve:

• Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve immediately. Pair it with tortilla chips, drizzle it over tacos, or use it as a dipping sauce for grilled meats and veggies.

🌟 Tips for Success:

• For Extra Smokiness: Roast the tomatillos, peppers, and garlic on a dry skillet or over an open flame before blending.
• Milder Salsa: Remove the seeds from the peppers to reduce the heat.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
