Categories     main-dish

Time 5h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup dried Hatch chiles, rough chopped
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cumin powder
One 3- to 4-pound tri-tip
4 fresh Hatch green chiles
1 bunch green onions, ends removed
2 tablespoons neutral oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup rough chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup rough chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 lime
1/2 cup olive oil
2 avocados, pitted and cubed
Flakey salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the dry rub: Add the dried chiles, brown sugar, salt, pepper and cumin to a bowl and mix well.
  • Cover the tri-tip generously with the spice mix on all sides. Wrap the tri-tip in plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 3 hours or up to 2 days. Prior to cooking, remove the meat from the fridge and let come to room temperature, approximately 1 hour.
  • Preheat a smoker (or the oven) to 225 degrees F.
  • Add the tri-tip and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F, 60 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • For the charred green onion and avocado salsa: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Toss the chiles and green onions with the oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place on the grill and cook until charred, 6 to 8 minutes. (Leave the grill on.)
  • Add the charred onions to a food processor. Set the chiles aside until cool enough to handle, then stem, seed and chop. To the food processor, add the cilantro, parsley, juice from 1/2 lime and 1 tablespoon kosher salt and puree, slowly streaming in the olive oil until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the avocados and chopped green chiles and gently fold in. Adjust seasoning with the remaining lime juice and salt.
  • Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and add to the grill. Cook on both sides to get a crisp exterior, about 4 minutes per side. Let rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain and on the bias. Sprinkle with flakey salt and serve with the charred green onion and avocado salsa on the side.

Tips

  • Select ripe avocados: Use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. Ripe avocados have a deep, dark green color and a creamy texture.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients not only taste better but also retain more nutrients. This is especially true for the cilantro, lime juice, and onions. If possible, use organic ingredients to minimize exposure to pesticides and herbicides.
  • Chop the ingredients evenly: This ensures that all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the salsa and that each bite has a good balance of flavors.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning: After mixing all the ingredients, taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, lime juice, or cilantro to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately or chill: Green avocado salsa is best served fresh. However, you can also chill it for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or any other Mexican dish.

Conclusion

Green avocado salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With its creamy texture, bright flavor, and vibrant green color, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some Mexican flair to your meal, give this green avocado salsa a try.
