Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
  • 2 garlic cloves

Method

  • Preheat grill to high (450°F to 550°F). Toss tomatillos with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Grill, uncovered, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred, about 7 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
