How to Make Tomatillo Avocado Salsa

  1. Add 1 pound tomatillos and 1/2 cup water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until tomatillos are softened.
  3. Carefully drain the tomatillos, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
  4. Add the drained tomatillos, 1 ripe avocado (pitted and flesh removed), 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and roughly chopped), 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons sour cream, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a blender or food processor.
  5. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add the reserved cooking liquid, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach a slightly thick, pourable consistency (similar to pancake batter).
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
