Avocado Tomatillo Salsa Recipe - Fresh and Flavorful

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 cup tomatillos, husked and chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Husk and chop the tomatillos. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Mince the garlic.

    Ensure tomatillos are ripe for the best flavor.
  2. Mash the Avocados

    In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.

    Don’t over-mash; a little texture adds to the salsa.
  3. Mix Ingredients

    Add chopped tomatillos, red onion, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocados.

    Mix gently to keep some avocado chunks intact.
  4. Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or pepper as needed.

    Fresh lime juice enhances the flavors.
  5. Serve

    Transfer the avocado tomatillo salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.

    Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to a day.
