Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tomatillos
  • 1 jalapeño (optional, for added spice)
  • 2 avocados
  • A handful of fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup crema mexicana
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 of a white onion
  • About 1 cup of boiling water from the tomatillos and jalapeño

Instructions

  • Boil the Tomatillos and Jalapeño: In a saucepan, boil the tomatillos and jalapeño (if using) for about 10 minutes until softened.
  • Prepare the Salsa Ingredients: In a blender, combine the avocados, fresh cilantro, crema mexicana, minced garlic, chicken bouillon powder, salt, lime juice, and white onion.
  • Add the Boiled Ingredients: Once the tomatillos and jalapeño are done boiling, add them to the blender along with about 1 cup of the boiling water to help blend.

  • Serve: Serve the salsa as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, or enjoy it as a dip with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra spice, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add more depending on your heat preference.
  • If you don’t have crema mexicana, you can substitute with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • The salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.
