Tomatillo Green Chili Salsa
Ingredients
Vegetables
5-8 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 to 3 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat)
3-4 Serrano peppers
½ white onion
6 garlic cloves FRESH
½ cup fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
2 Avocados (optional- makes it creamier!)
Seasonings
1 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
½ tsp black pepper
3 tbs Mexican chicken bouillon powder, widely known as caldo de pollo powder
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
Directions
Get a skillet HOT- We need a good char.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil then add peppers, tomatillos, white onion until all sides are “burnt”.
Theres going to be a lot of oil sizzling so I like to put a piece of aluminum foil over so avoid a mess
Let vegetables cool for 5 to 10 minutes. (if you are impatient and stick them directly in your blender- its explodes… don’t ask how I know this).
Add roasted vegetables, garlic cloves, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a food processor or blender.
Pulse 10 to 15 times for a chunky salsa or blend until smooth, depending on your preference…. I prefer smoooth
Taste and adjust salt. pepper or lime juice as needed.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Tips
If you accidentally make it too spicy (which I have done a few times) or if you want to add protein you can add a ½ cup of cottage cheese.. I promise you cant tell!
