Equipment

Ingredients

8 tomatillos
⅓ onion
2 garlic cloves 1 roasted, 1 raw
2 serrano peppers adjust for spice level
1 avocado peeled, pitted
juice of ½ lime
½ bunch fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon oil for roasting

Instructions

Roast the ingredients: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Place the peppers, green tomatoes, one garlic clove, and onion in the basket. You can drizzle them with a bit of oil for extra flavor, or leave them as is. Air fry for 10 minutes, until slightly charred.
Cool & blend: Remove from the air fryer and let the ingredients cool for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a blender.
Add fresh ingredients: Add the remaining raw garlic clove, cilantro, lime juice, and avocado.
Blend to desired texture: Blend until smooth, or pulse for a chunkier consistency if preferred. Season with salt to taste.
Serve & enjoy! Pair with tortilla chips, nachos, tacos, grilled meats, or even eggs for a flavorful kick!

Notes

I usually prepare it in an air fryer for convenience, but it can also be made in the oven. If making it in the oven, the tomatoes are ready when they soften and change from a bright green to a darker green, yellow, or even slightly brownish color as they cook.
