Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium tomatillos
  • 1/4 cup white onion chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 avocados
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 fresh jalapeño seeds removed (or pickled jalapeños /green chilies)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Remove husks from tomatillos and wash well to remove sticky residue. Slice in half and place on a baking sheet with the onions. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool.
  • Place into a food processor along with the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.

Notes

Use within 2 days. To maintain freshness and color, store in a sealed container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly on its surface. This will help prevent oxidation, which is what causes the avocado to turn brown.
