AVOCADO-TOMATILLO TACO TRUCK SAUCE



Avocado-Tomatillo Taco Truck Sauce image

This is perhaps the most popular avocado sauce used by taco truck vendors in Mexico. A little sour and very creamy, it's used to top everything from totopos (fried tortilla chips) to tacos and chilaquiles. The acidity of the tomatillos keeps the avocado fresh and vibrantly green for up to three days, if properly refrigerated. You can put it in a squirt bottle or spoon it directly onto your food. This recipe has a spicy kick, so if you desire a milder flavor, seed and devein the chiles. My daughter Nikki, who doesn't care much for avocados, eats this sauce by the spoonful. Try saying the name of this sauce quickly and you'll see how catchy it is.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4-5 medium tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed and chopped (you should have 1 cup)

¼ cup minced white onion
¼ cup water
1 Hass avocado
Lime juice, to taste
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Scoop out the flesh of the avocado and add it to the blender; blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a large bowl; season with lime juice, salt, and pepper.

AVOCADO AND ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA



Avocado and Roasted Tomatillo Salsa image

I have been making tomatillo and avocado salsa for years, but I usually simmer the tomatillos rather than roasting them. Roasting the tomatillos, chiles and garlic - toasting really, as I use a skillet for this, on top of the flame - produces a salsa with a delicious charred flavor. I learned something recently from the chef Iliana de la Vega, who demonstrated the recipe at the "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives" conference in Napa Valley in March: she says, in no uncertain terms, that you should not add water to tomatillo salsas. Without the water, this is a more intense salsa with pleasing density.You can use it as a sauce to serve with chicken or fish, or as a dip with chips or other vegetables.

Categories     dinner, lunch, sauces and gravies, appetizer

Time 25m

Yield About 2 cups, serving 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound tomatillos, husked
1 to 2 serrano chiles (to taste), stems removed
1 medium garlic clove, unpeeled
1 slice white or red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, with stems
1 medium avocado
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos in pan and toast until charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes for a medium or large tomatillo. The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened. The onion should be lightly colored on both sides but not charred black (that will make it bitter). Remove from heat. Peel the garlic and transfer, with the onion and chiles, to a blender. Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.

ROASTED TOMATILLO-POBLANO-AVOCADO SALSA



Roasted Tomatillo-Poblano-Avocado Salsa image

One of my favorite new cookbooks of this season is "A Mouthful of Stars" (Andrews McMeel), by Kim Sunée. The book is a memoir, travelogue and cookbook all rolled into one, written by an author who earlier published another compelling memoir with recipes, "Trail of Crumbs." Kim is a poetic world traveler who loves many cuisines. She is a big fan of taco trucks and loves salsa, the spicier the better. This salsa is based on her recipe for roasted tomatillo-poblano salsa. I love its balance of char, heat, acid and creamy. I'm a moderate when it comes to heat, but you can make this hotter by adding more chiles.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, sauces and gravies, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield About 2 cups, serving 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound tomatillos, husked and quartered

1 medium white or yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon ground toasted cumin
1 large ripe avocado, halved and pitted
Juice of 2 limes

Steps:

Add salt to taste and toss together with your hands. Place in oven and roast 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until blistered and softened. Remove from heat.
  • Place roasted vegetables, with any juice from the pan, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse until well blended but not puréed. Add cilantro, cumin, avocado and lime juice and pulse until blended. Taste and adjust salt. Serve at once or store in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator. Stir well before serving.
