Ingredients

  • 1 poblano chile  seeded and chopped
  • 1 serrano chile  seeded and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno  seeded and chopped
  • 4 tomatillos  quartered
  • 2 garlic cloves 
  • 1 cup sour cream 
  • 1 avocado 
  • 1 lime  juiced
  • salt  to taste

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Taste the sauce. If the sauce is too spicy for your preference, add a tablespoon more of sour cream, until you reach your desired level of spiciness.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Be careful when handling the peppers. The oils from the peppers that contain capsaicin can transfer to your skin. While you may not feel anything immediately, if you then touch your nose or eyes, it can cause a significant burning feeling. It helps to wear gloves when chopping the peppers, or at the very least, wash your hands well with soap and water after handling the peppers.
  • This recipe makes about 2 cups of sauce.
