This quick and easy creamy avocado salsa comes together in minutes and tastes just like the one from my favorite taco truck! Perfect for Taco Tuesday!
My favorite taco truck (Leo’s if you’re in Los Angeles) has a super creamy, tangy avocado salsa that I am obsessed with! This recipe is as close as it gets to Leo’s. You can serve it with chips for dipping or over tacos, enchiladas or alongside your favorite savory Mexican dishes. You’ll never go back to store-bought salsa again!
Creamy avocado salsa ingredients→
Avocado: This salsa is only as good as the avocado. Make sure you pick one that’s ripe and green.
Tomatillos: Look for the ones that are firm and vibrant green and not shriveled up.
Jalapeño: Remove the seeds and membrane to tone down the spice. If you like your salsa hot feel free to add the seeds back in.
Cilantro: I love cilantro, but if you’re opposed you can leave it out.
Lime: Lime juice adds acidity and brightness.
Garlic + Onion: Fresh garlic and onion only, do not substitute powdered.
