Steps

1

Gather all ingredients. Wash mint leaves, if using.
2

Wash Tomatillos. Prepare onion and garlic. See pic below for reference.
3

Heat a pan or skillet. Add 1 or 2 TBSP of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add onion, Tomatillos & green chillies. You can add garlic now or later when you add water, it's very much a personal preference. Cook or pan roast until onion is soft and Tomatillos are lightly charred or roasted. Add 1 cup of water. Bring to good boil. Turn the heat off. Leave aside to cool.
4

Halve your Avocados. Remove & discard the seed. Transfer cooked ingredients into a food processor once cooled or warm. Add Avocados, cilantro (or coriander), mints, chicken bouillon or chicken seasoning powder, good pinch of black or white pepper powder and lime juice. Process everything well for a minute. See pic below. Give it a taste. At this stage, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more water if you think it's too thick for your liking. You can also adjust the taste.
5

Adjust the salt, lime and consistency as required. If and after you make the adjustments (or any adjustments), process it for a second time to make sure everything is well combined. Transfer to a bowl or bottle. Great on Tacos and with chips/crisps.
