Avocado Tomatillo Salsa

There is nothing better than a homemade salsa, to complement the homemade tortillas my kids like to make. When I make Mexican food at home and I have the time to make salsa, this is my go to salsa, along with pico de gallo or salsa roja.

A few months ago, we had a salsa competition at work and guess what? My salsa won in one of the categories. Does this mean I can call it Award Winning Avocado Salsa?? Just kidding! 😉

This avocado salsa is creamy and packed with flavor. It’s like a cross between guacamole and salsa verde. My favorite salsa!

Ingredients:

• 1 large avocado halved, pitted and peeled
• 8 large Tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered
• 1 Serrano chile, stemmed
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 small white onion chopped

• 1 cup chopped cilantro
• Kosher salt to taste
• Lime juice (1 lime)

Salt and pepper to taste.

Combine tomatillos, garlic, chile and onion in the food processor. Using on/off turns, process until vegetables are chunky. add the rest of the ingredients and blend until a puree forms. Transfer to medium bowl. Season with salt. Can be made 4 hours ahead. Press a damp paper towel directly onto surface of salsa and chill.

This salsa pairs well with quesadillas, tacos or tortilla chips.

Happy cooking!
