Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Ready Time: 25 mins


• place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers into a saucepan over medium heat, and pour in enough water to cover. bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the tomatillos soften and change color from bright green to a yellow-green color, 5 to 8 minutes.
• with a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the tomatillo mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. puree until smooth, about 1 minute; mix in salt, cilantro, and lime juice. blend again for a few seconds just to mix.
• scoop out the avocado flesh, and place into the blender; blend until well mixed. adjust salt, cilantro, and lime juice before serving.
