Gustavo Romero of Oro by Nixta's take on a taquería classic — a bright green, super creamy avocado salsa — comes together so quickly, there's no excuse not to try it. No roasting, toasting, or extra prep needed — just fresh ingredients tossed straight into a blender. The result? A silky, flavor-packed salsa that’s bright, tangy, and perfect for spooning over tacos, grilled meats, or anything that could use a little extra love.
6 cloves garlic, peeled
½ white onion, roughly chopped
2 serrano chiles, roughly chopped (or jalapeños if you prefer less spicy)
5 ripe tomatillos, quartered
Juice of 2 limes
Bunch of cilantro, leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped (about ½ cup packed)
1 ripe avocado
Salt, to taste
2 tbsp avocado oil
Add the garlic, onion, serrano chiles, tomatillos, lime juice, cilantro, and avocado to a blender.
Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until the mixture turns a smooth, uniform color.
With the blender still running, add a teaspoon of salt.
Once smooth and uniform, drizzle in the avocado oil to help emulsify.
Taste and add more salt as needed.
