Make yourself some g-whack-a-mole:
- 6 oz tomatilloes (about 3-5)
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1 small lemon
- 3 serrano peppers OR 1 chipotle pepper (from adobo)
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2-3 avocados
- 1 tbsp. yogurt
- 1 small tomato
Husk and rinse tomatilloes. Broil tomatilloes in oven about 4 inches away from heat until skin is charred (7-10 minutes). Turn over tomatilloes and broil until both sides are charred (6 - 8 minutes). Remove tomatilloes from oven and allow to cool. Finely chop cilantro and onion, juice lemon and combine. Finely chop peppers (discard seeds to reduce heat as desired) and add to mixture. Peel the skin from tomatillos and throw it away. Add the tomatillo guts to the mixture, stirring thoroughly. Add salt and pepper. Peel and pit avocadoes and mash into mixture, mixing thoroughly but still chunky. Stir in yogurt. Chop tomato and mix in.
