How to Make Salsa De Tomatillo Con Aguacate

  1. Combine 2 cloves garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender. Process until a smooth paste forms.
  2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  3. Add 1/2 medium white onion (roughly chopped), 2 serrano chiles (stems removed, roughly chopped), 1 pound tomatillos (husked and rinsed), and 1/2 cup cilantro (packed).
  4. Pulse using an on/off motion until a coarsely textured puree is formed. Avoid over-processing.
  5. Add 1 ripe avocado, pitted and scooped, to the food processor. Process until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother salsa, process longer; for a chunkier salsa, pulse less.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more salt, lime juice, or a pinch of sugar to balance). Serve immediately or within 1 hour for the best flavor.
