  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 1.5 cups

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 fresh tomatillos, husks removed and chopped
  • 2 chiles serranos or 1 jalapeno, chopped
  • 6 sprigs of cilantro, chopped
  • About 2 tablespoons of chopped onion
  • 1 medium-sized avocado
  • ⅓ cup water
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Blend Tomatillos and Peppers: Place the chopped tomatillos, chopped onion, serrano peppers, and water into a blender. Process until the mixture reaches a coarse texture.
  2. Add Cilantro and Avocado: Add the chopped cilantro and the pulp of the avocado to the blender. Process again until the salsa reaches your desired texture—either smooth and creamy or slightly chunky.
  3. Season and Serve: Add salt to taste and blend briefly to incorporate. Serve immediately or chill for enhanced flavors.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of chiles to control the salsa’s spiciness.
  • Use jalapeno as a milder alternative to serrano peppers.
  • The salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; avocado may brown slightly.
  • Great served with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or eggs.
  • For a thinner salsa, add more water gradually.
