Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 mini sweet peppers, mixed colors
1 small white onion
1 1/2 pounds medium tomatillos, husks removed
1 ripe avocado, 3/4-inch dice
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup queso fresco, crumbled
1/4 cup toasted pepitas

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high and adjust an oven rack to the top level.
  • Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Dice the peppers and onion into bite-size pieces (about 1/2 inch).
  • Place the tomatillos stem-side down on a sheet pan and place under the broiler. Char until the tops are blackened, about 3 minutes. Flip and broil 3 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet on high heat and add the peppers and onions. Spread them out in an even layer and sear in the dry skillet until lightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  • Dice the tomatillos into 1/2-inch chunks. Toss all the vegetables into the bowl with the lime dressing. Stir in the diced avocado and top with the cilantro, queso fresco and toasted pepitas.
