Ingredients

2 medium avocados peeled, pitted, and quartered
1 pound tomatillos about 6, husks removed
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
1 jalapeño seeded and diced
3 garlic cloves finely minced
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons lime juice from 1-2 limes

Instructions

Add the avocados, tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to a food processor.
2 medium avocados, 1 pound tomatillos, ½ cup finely chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño, 3 garlic cloves, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons lime juice
Pulse 5-10 times, then process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and process for 1 more minute, or until smooth.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

Avocados: Use perfectly ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor. They should yield slightly when pressed but not feel mushy.
Spice Level: This salsa is about a 3/10 on the spice scale as written. For less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño, or use only half a pepper. For more spice, keep the seeds in or add an extra jalapeño or serrano pepper.
Storage: To keep the salsa fresh and green, store it in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent air exposure. Enjoy within 3 days.
Balance the Flavors: Before serving, taste and adjust as needed. Add more lime juice for tanginess, salt to enhance the flavors, or extra jalapeño for a little more heat.
