"This is very similar to the green sauce served with tortilla chips at a local Houston area restaurant."

 

• Ready In: 25mins

ingredients

• 18 -20 golf ball sized tomatillos

• 3 -4 garlic cloves
• 2 -3 avocados
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt

directions

1. Coarsely chop vegetables except avocados. Place all ingredients in a iron skillet with 2 Tablespoons olive oil. Cook until tender.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Place in a blender and blend well.
4. Cut avocados in half remove seed and scoop pulp into the warm mixture. Blend until well mixed. Salt to taste. The avocados will not turn dark because of heating and this will retain its green color for several days in the refrigerator.

This is fantastic. I had a salsa verde very similar to this in San Marcos and had to try and recreate it at home. This recipe was pretty close. Thank you!
