Ingredients

  • Freshly husked tomatillos, weighing a pound
  • Halved and pitted ripe avocados, a total of four
  • A container of sour cream, sized at 8 ounces
  • A single jalapeno pepper
  • Lime juice, precisely two tablespoons
  • Four cloves of garlic
  • Three sprigs of vibrant fresh cilantro
  • A tablespoon of red fajita seasoning
  • A teaspoon of Mediterranean sea salt

Step 1

Start by gently nestling the vibrant tomatillos into a generously sized pot, then envelop them with water before coaxing a gentle boil to life. Lower the heat to a cozy medium-low and allow them to simmer until they reach a delightful tenderness, typically around 10 minutes. Once ready, bid the tomatillos farewell from their watery abode.

Step 2

Carefully usher the now tender tomatillos into the confines of a blender, where they will mingle with creamy avocados, tangy sour cream, a spicy jalapeno pepper, zesty lime juice, pungent garlic, fragrant cilantro, aromatic fajita seasoning, and a pinch of sea salt. Let this vibrant assembly whirl and twirl until a velvety smooth sauce emerges.

Step 3

Allow this luscious concoction to chill in the refrigerator, granting ample time for the flavors to intertwine and harmonize, ideally for a minimum of 4 hours.
