AVOCADO-TOMATILLO DIP WITH JALAPENOS AND CILANTRO



Avocado-Tomatillo Dip with Jalapenos and Cilantro image

Tomatillos give a bit of tang to this avocado dip. Hass avocados, with their pebbly skin, are generally smaller, meatier, and less watery than their smooth skinned counterpart, the Fuerte.

Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 ounces fresh tomatillos, husks discarded and tomatillos rinsed
¼ cup thickly sliced white onion
1 fresh jalapeno chili
½ cup packed fresh cilantro sprigs
2 Hass avocados
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put tomatillos, onion, and jalapeno in a small saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tomatillos are softened and pale green, about 5 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to stop cooking, and drain well.

  • Halve avocados lengthwise and discard pits. Scoop out flesh and transfer to a bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, mash avocado along with salt until chunky. Fold in tomatillo mixture and serve.
