ROASTED TOMATILLO & AVOCADO SALSA VERDE

You may be wondering what a tomatillo is, am I right? A tomatillo is from the gooseberry family. Almost like a green tomato that comes in a cute paper wrapper. You can roast them, use them in sauces, you can even eat them raw with a little lime juice and Tajin chili seasoning, but they are ridiculously good in this amazing salsa.So good!

Every year I make this Tomatillo Salsa as gifts for neighbors, teachers, and friends. I’ve been told they look forward to it every single year, most consume it in one sitting because it’s so good is what I’ve heard. My family loves it just as much, I usually have to put a couple of jars aside for them…they go crazy for it.

This salsa is really so good with your favorite tortilla chip, it also goes so well with so many Mexican recipes. Enchiladas, tacos, burritos, salads, and even a crispy quesadilla.

HOW TO MAKE ROASTED TOMATILLO & AVOCADO SALSA VERDE

I love easy recipes, this tomatillo salsa is just that. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

Let’s start with the tomatillo’s, start by putting your tomatillo’s in a colander or strainer and rinse with cold water. This will make peeling the wrappers from the tomatillo’s easier, it will also help to remove their sticky coating. Place all the tomatillo’s on a lined tray, I use foil or parchment paper.

Remove most of the seeds and membrane from the jalapenos and add them to the cookie sheet. Roughly chop the white onion and also scatter on the tray. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss with vegetable oil.

Place veggies to roast in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Prep your avocado’s by removing the pits and set them aside. Remove cookie sheet from the oven, your tomatillo’s should be extremely tender.

Place the tomatillo’s, onion, minced garlic, jalapenos, cilantro, avocados, lime juice, salt, and cumin in a blender or food processor. I love my Vitamix Blender if you’re looking for a great blender. Pulse all ingredients until it’s blended smooth.

Depending on the size of your blender or food processor you made need to make this recipe in two batches. Your salsa will be warm from the freshly roasted tomatillos, it’s best to let your salsa cool before eating.

HOW TO STORE YOUR FRESH TOMATILLO & AVOCADO SALSA VERDE

It’s best to keep the tomatillo salsa in glass mason jars or an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, that is if it lasts that long before you eat it all.

CAN I FREEZE TOMATILLO & AVOCADO SALSA?

You can absolutely freeze this tomatillo salsa! Simply put it in a mason jar, airtight container, or a freezer-safe Ziplock bag that is laid flat after filling. You can keep it frozen for up to 2 months.
