01

Step 1

Start by heating some oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the onion, jalapeño, and garlic, and cook them together, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens—this usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes, tomatillos, avocado, and a bit of water to the pan. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the tomatoes are tender and most of the liquid has cooked off, which should take around 15 minutes. Once that’s done, take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool down a little.

Step 2

Then, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add in the sour cream, cilantro, and some salt, and blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender. And that’s it—you’ve got a silky, delicious green sauce ready to enjoy!
