How to Make Aztec Guacamole

  1. Roast the tomatillos, onions, and garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the tomatillos, onion, and garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatillos are softened and slightly charred.
  2. Blend the roasted vegetables: Once the vegetables have cooled slightly, add them to a blender along with the cilantro, serrano pepper (remove seeds for less heat), lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Combine with avocado: Gently fold in the mashed avocados. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some texture.
  4. Season to taste: Add more lime juice, salt, or serrano pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for later: Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, alongside beef tacos for an authentic Mexican experience.
