Tomatillo Guacamole

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. fresh tomatillos, husks removed
• 1 jalapeno, seeded & chopped
• 10 sprigs cilantro
• Salt to taste
• 2 small avocados, ripe
• 1 Tbsp. lime juice, fresh

Instructions

1. Preheat the boiler and set aside a baking sheet lined with foil.
2. Place the tomatillos, stem side down, on the baking sheet. Broil for 2-5 minutes or until charred on one side. Flip the tomatillos over and broil an additional 2-5 minutes until charred on the other side.
3. Remove from oven, let cool, then place in a blender or food processor along with any juice left on the baking sheet.
4. Add the jalapeno, cilantro, and salt. Blend or pulse until ingredients are a coarse purée.
5. Next, cut avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon and place in a medi-um bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, and then transfer the tomatillo mixture into the bowl along with the lime juice and mix until combined. Serve within 1-2 hours for best quality. Use on tacos, sandwiches, or eat with tortilla chips.
