Boil until tomatillos turn bright green and soft, about 10 minutes. Place cilantro, avocados, cooked tomatillos, and cooked jalapenos into a blender, working in batches if necessary. Blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add about 1 tablespoon of tomatillo cooking water, or as needed, if salsa is too thick. Stop the blender, and season the salsa with garlic powder and salt to taste. Blend again briefly to mix in the seasonings. Transfer to a bowl for serving. Recipe Tips Serve either warm or cold the next day. Add the avocado pits to the finished salsa to keep it from browning in the refrigerator. I Made It Print 57 home cooks made it!
