Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 green tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 4 tomatillos, husked and chopped
  • 3 avocados, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
  • 1 ½ cups sour cream, at room temperature
  • ¼ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic until onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomatillos, avocado, and water to onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes are softened and liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool slightly.

Step 2
Blend tomato mixture, sour cream, cilantro, and salt together in a food processor or blender, working in batches if necessary, until sauce is smooth.

Cook’s Note:

You can opt to roast the jalapeno before combining with the other ingredients to give it a extra flavor. To roast the pepper: Put it in the toaster oven at 375 degrees F (191 degrees C) for about 5 minutes or until the pepper 'sweats'. Keep a close watch; you don't want it to burn!
