A vibrant and creamy green salsa, reminiscent of Houston's culinary heart. This tangy salsa is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, perfect as a dip, a topping, or a flavor-packed addition to your favorite dishes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped green tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeno pepper, and minced garlic. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the tomatoes and tomatillos are softened. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the tomato mixture to cool slightly. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)
Transfer the cooled tomato mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy. (Blending time: 1-2 minutes)
Transfer the blended salsa to a bowl and gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and the salsa is smooth. (Mixing time: 1 minute)
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or jalapeno for heat. Chill before serving for optimal flavor. (Chilling time: 30 minutes suggested)
