Make a batch of Thermionic’s “Muy Especial Salsa Verde con Aguacate” and you just might change your mind!
12 tomatillos
4 serrano chilies (the salsa will be on the slightly hotter end of the spectrum but nowhere close to blowing your head off, however if you absolutely must you can cut back to 2-3 chilies but you won’t get the full flavor)
1 avocado
1/2 medium-sized white onion
1/2 garlic clove
1/2 cup (loosely packed) cilantro leaves
1/4 tsp fresh-squeezed lime juice (NOT the battery acid imitation squirt bottle stuff!)
kosher salt
Chop and blend everything except the avocado and salt until the mixture is consistent but still slightly chunky. Add the avocado and roughly 1/2 tsp kosher salt (+/- to taste) and blend some more until the consistency looks similar to the pic. Chill in the fridge and serve cold. Garnish with any combo of lime slices, fresh (not pickled) jalapeno slices, and cilantro if desired. I like it with chips, chicken and pork tamales and enchiladas, and just about any taco.
Buen provecho!
