- 1 avocado
Instructions
- Place 4 tomatillos, 1 Serrano pepper, 3 garlic cloves, ½ cup diced onion, 1 cup cilantro, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt into a blender or food processor.
- Blend for 2 minutes until liquified.
- Cut 1 avocado in half and scoop into the blender or food processor.

- Scrape down the sides if needed.
- Taste and check to see if it needs more salt.

Notes
I don’t use lime juice in my recipe because the acidity of the tomatillos gives enough tartness and provides enough liquid to run in my blender. If you need liquid to run your blender, use 1 tablespoon of lime juice or water to get it moving. Don’t water it down too much or it won’t be creamy when you add the avocado.
