Ingredients

3 tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and halved 

1/2 white onion, halved 

2 cloves garlic 

1 jalapeno chile, stemmed and halved 

1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves 

Juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon) 

1 teaspoon coarse salt 

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into small cubes 

Preparation

Heat a stovetop grill over medium-high heat. Grill tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeno, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.

Place grilled vegetables in the bowl of a food processor, and add cilantro, juice, salt, and pepper; pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl, and fold in avocado.
