HOW TO MAKE THIS AVOCADO-ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA
- The first step is to husk, core, quarter the tomatillos, lightly smash and peel the garlic cloves and stem, and halve a jalapeno pepper.
- Next, Preheat the oven to 425°. Toss the tomatillos, garlic, and jalapeño on a rimmed baking sheet with the oil and spread in a single layer. Roast the vegetables until lightly charred and softened, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a blender and let cool.
- Then, Add the avocados, cilantro, sugar, cumin, and 1/2 cup of water and puree until smooth. Add the onion, oregano, and lime juice and pulse once or twice until incorporated. Transfer the salsa to a bowl and season with salt. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
