A flavorful guacamole that’s easy to adjust to your heat or taste preferences. A little untraditional to make, but won’t stay around long. Great with fresh tortilla chips or as a condiment on many Latin dishes.
Ingredients
- 6 fresh tomatillos, husks discarded and tomatillos rinsed
- 1 white onion, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded if desired
- 1 ½ cups water, or amount to cover
- salt to taste
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
- 3 ripe avocados, halved lengthwise and pitted
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Scoop out the avocado flesh, and place into the blender; blend until well mixed. Adjust salt, cilantro, and lime juice before serving.
