Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic until the onion softens, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomatillos, avocado, and water to the onion mixture; bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the tomatoes are softened and the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
