Salsa de aguacate is a smooth and creamy Mexican condiment that combines the richness of ripe avocados with the fresh flavors of tomatillos, cilantro, and lime. It’s the perfect accompaniment to tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip for chips.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, stem removed (adjust for heat preference)
- 1 garlic clove
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup water (adjust for desired consistency)
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the tomatillos: Quarter the tomatillos and place them in a blender or food processor.
- Add the other ingredients: Scoop out the avocado flesh and add it to the blender. Toss in the cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, and water.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the salsa is too thick, add more water a little at a time.
- Season: Taste the salsa and add salt as needed. You can also adjust the spice level by adding more jalapeño or lime juice for acidity.
