There are a handful of ingredients that never get old to my taste buds. I could literally eat them everyday, all day, and you will never hear me complain. Tomatillos, avocados, hatch chiles, red onion, garlic, and cilantro are all ingredients that make me dance with excitement and I cannot go a full day without having at least one if not all of them.
Last week when all of my favorite ingredients came in the same CSA delivery I couldn’t resist; I had to make a big batch of roasted hatch chile and tomatillo salsa! This time though I decided to add avocado to the mix which imparts an amazing creaminess to the salsa verde that I just love. This recipe is easy to make, fast to whip up, and totally addictive.

Sounds so good!! I changed to a keto diet on & off some years back and have developed a new interest in all the tasty peppers after making “chili rellenos” after sampling a hot sauce from a hole in the wall near my sons college that uses banana peppers I bought some to make my own just not as hot lol 😂. I love their fruity taste. I’m looking forward to trying your recipe as well as I love tomatillos & cilantro. Thank you for sharing 😁
Mmmmm chili rellenos sound SO delicious! We have a soft spot for peppers over here too. We fell in live with Hatch Chile’s when we lived in Southern California and look forward to their growing season every year! I hope you love this salsa if you give it a try!
Ooooh yes! I may have to give this a try for game day next week. Thanks for the inspo!!
