Mexican Avocado Tomatillo Spicy Salsa

Mexican Avocado Tomatillo Spicy Salsa 🌶️🥑

A vibrant, creamy, and zesty salsa with a spicy kick, perfect for tacos, chips, or as a flavorful topping for your favorite dishes!


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.

Enjoy this creamy, tangy, and spicy Avocado Tomatillo Salsa that brings a burst of freshness to any meal! ¡Buen provecho! 🥑✨
