Velvety Tomatillo-Avocado Green Sauce
  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Blend the tomato mixture, sour cream, cilantro, and salt in a food processor or blender, working in batches if needed, until the sauce is smooth.
