Mean Green Guacamole Salsa
  1. 1

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the tomatillos and jalapenos. Boil until the tomatillos are bright green and soft, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Put the cilantro, avocados, cooked tomatillos, and cooked jalapenos into a blender, working in batches if needed. Blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. If the salsa is too thick, add about 1 tablespoon of the tomatillo cooking water, or as needed.

  3. 3

    Stop the blender and season the salsa with garlic powder and salt to taste. Blend briefly again to combine the seasonings, then transfer to a bowl for serving.
