Description

A vibrant and creamy Tomatillo Avocado Salsa combining tangy tomatillos with spicy jalapeños and smooth avocado, perfect for chips, tacos, and more. This easy no-cook salsa brings fresh flavors and a zesty kick with minimal prep time.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 8-9 tomatillos (husked, rinsed, and quartered)
  • 2 jalapeño peppers (stems removed)
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ onion (sliced)
  • 1 avocado (peeled and diced)

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Salt (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Prepare and process ingredients. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, and sliced onion to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse for about 5 seconds until the mixture is chunky but well combined, ensuring a balanced texture for the salsa.
  2. Add avocado and season. Transfer the processed mixture to a bowl, then gently stir in the diced avocado, fresh lime juice, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors and adjust salt if needed to enhance the salsa’s brightness.
  3. Serve and enjoy. Use your Tomatillo Avocado Salsa immediately with chips, tacos, taquitos, or your favorite Mexican dishes for a fresh and zesty accompaniment.

Notes

  • For a milder salsa, remove seeds from jalapeños before blending.
  • The salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little water or more lime juice while blending.
  • Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain texture in the salsa.
