Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by rinsing the tomatillos under cold water to remove any sticky residue. Remove the husks from the tomatillos and chop them roughly. Slice the serrano chile in half, remove the seeds if you prefer less heat, and chop finely. Rinse the fresh cilantro and chop it coarsely.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped tomatillos, serrano chile, lime juice, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with mashed avocado. Sprinkle in the salt.

  4. 4

    Mix Together

    Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain some texture in the avocado.
