How to Make Tomatillo Salsa

  1. Dice 2 ripe avocados into ½-inch chunks.
  2. Immediately toss the avocado chunks with the juice of 1 lime to prevent browning. Reserve the lime half.
  3. Roughly chop ½ cup red onion, 2 cloves garlic, and ½ cup of fresh cilantro. Add to a food processor along with the pulp from the reserved lime half. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
  4. Add 1 ½ pounds tomatillos (about 4 medium), husked, rinsed, and roughly chopped to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Alternatively, finely chop by hand.
  5. Finely mince 1 jalapeño pepper, removing seeds and membranes for less heat if desired. Gently fold the jalapeño, the avocado mixture, and the processed tomatillo mixture together in a bowl.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately or chill for later.
