Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound of tomatillos husked removed and washed
  • 1/2 large onion cut into large wedges
  • 1 jalapeño stem and seeds removed and quarter lengthwise
  • 1 large garlic clove peeled and smashed
  • 1/4 of fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 ripe Haas avocado
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

  1. On a dry cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium high heat, let the tomatillos lightly char on all sides. When they turn from a bright green color to a faded olive color, remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
  2. Add the onion wedges and jalapeño and add color to all sides, being careful not to burn. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a blender add all ingredients and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides a few times.
