Tomatillos is an acidic, verdant fruit that looks like green tomatoes and part of the nightshade family closer to gooseberry than tomatoes. They have a rough papery husk exterior and firm smooth skins, after peeling the papery husk a bright green fruit is revealed that is tart, acidic with a bright crisp flavor. The skins are normally bright green but also grow in purple color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their tart-acidic fresh flavor lends to a variety of recipes, but the most popular use is in salsas. This Tomatillo Avocado Salsa is often called Salsa de Tomatillo y Aguacate or Avocado Green Salsa, Salsa Verde con Aguacate, Salsa de Guacamole, or Guacamole Salsa. You get the picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start by lightly cooking the tomatillo either by roasting or steaming, then blending it with onion, jalepe\u00f1o, garlic, cilantro. Avocados are added for creamy smooth texture, but essentially it tones down the sharp tart-acidic flavor of the tomatillos. The salsa is great for scooping with chips or makes an excellent component for Mexican bowls, tacos, burritos, sauce for quesadilla and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creaminess of the avocados combined with tang of the tomatillos along with the pop of he from jalape\u00f1os and serranos make this salsa irresistible. So next time you see these interesting looking fruits pick up a few and make this salsa, I promise it will be your new favorite salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
