Ingredients

  • 6 ripe tomatillos with their husks removed
  • 2 vibrant serrano peppers
  • A portion of a medium white onion, cut into quarters
  • Creamy sour cream, half a cup
  • Fresh cilantro, finely chopped to a quarter cup
  • A single small avocado, pit removed and skin peeled off
  • A clove of garlic, without its skin
  • A hint of salt and a sprinkle of ground black pepper

Step 1

Start by gently placing vibrant tomatillos and spicy serrano peppers in a medium pot, submerging them in water. Allow the mixture to embrace a lively boil before lowering the heat to a gentle medium-low, letting it simmer until tender, a process that usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Once the ingredients have softened beautifully, take them off the heat, drain them, and let them cool naturally for another 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

Once the tomatillos and serrano peppers have reached the perfect temperature, it's time to combine them with chopped onion, creamy sour cream, fresh cilantro, ripe avocado, pungent garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in an electric blender. Gradually blend the ingredients together until they harmonize into a smooth, almost liquid consistency. This flavorful puree will be the heart and soul of your delectable dish!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your tomatillos fresh and vibrant by storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  2. 2. Store your jalapeƱos and other hot peppers in a paper bag in the refrigerator to maintain their spiciness and flavor.
