Step 1
Put the tomatillos and serrano peppers in a medium pot, then cover them with water. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the tomatillos are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Once they’re tender, drain the water and let them cool for around 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
When the tomatillos and peppers have cooled, toss them into a blender along with the onion, sour cream, cilantro, avocado, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend everything until the sauce is smooth and creamy, almost like a thick liquid. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to, then you’re ready to enjoy!
Simple Serving Suggestions
This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, tacos, or roasted vegetables. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for chips or drizzle it over eggs for a spicy breakfast twist. It adds a vibrant punch to any Mexican-inspired meal.
Food Storage Guide
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze it in small portions to preserve freshness and flavor. Always stir well before using, as separation may occur.
