Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your dip will be.
- Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos will bring out their sweetness and smokiness, adding depth of flavor to your dip.
- Use a variety of chiles: Feel free to adjust the heat level of your dip by using different types of chiles. For a milder dip, use poblano or Anaheim chiles. For a spicier dip, use serrano or habanero chiles.
- Don't over-blend the dip: You want the dip to be chunky, not smooth. Pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender until they are well combined, but still have some texture.
- Serve the dip with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for avocado and tomatillo dip include chopped cilantro, diced red onion, crumbled queso fresco, and tortilla chips.
