Ingredients
  

  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 4 tomatillos, chopped
  • 3 avocados
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup diced onion, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup fresh torn cilantro, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, or more if needed
  • tortilla chips for serving

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Blender
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by charring the jalapeño pepper. You can do this by placing it under the broiler on a baking sheet for a few minutes until it’s blackened, or heating it over your gas stovetop until it’s charred all around. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  2. Once charred, place the jalapeño in a ziplock bag and let it steam for about 10 minutes. This helps to loosen the skin.
  3. After steaming, carefully remove the jalapeño from the bag and rub off the charred skin. Slice it open and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder salsa.
  4. In a food processor, combine the charred jalapeño, chopped tomatillos, avocados, garlic, onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
  5. Blend the mixture until it’s well combined and has a creamy, smooth texture.
  6. With the processor running, gradually add in the freshly squeezed lime juice. This not only helps to thin out the mixture but also brightens the flavors.
  7. Once smooth, transfer the salsa to a serving bowl. Top it with additional diced onion, cilantro, and slices of jalapeño for added visual appeal.
  8. Serve the salsa immediately with crispy tortilla chips for dipping.
  9. Enjoy the flavorful Roasted Jalapeño Guacamole Salsa and watch it disappear at your next gathering!

Notes

To store leftovers, keep the salsa in a sealed container in the refrigerator. This will help preserve its freshness for a few days.
