Ninfa's Green Tomato Salsa is a special recipe that was created by Ninfa Laurenzo, the founder of the famous Tex-Mex restaurant, Ninfa's. This fresh and zesty salsa is an essential for every Tex-Mex food lover who wants to add some fiery tang to their food. Popularly known as salsa verde, it's made up of green tomatoes, tomatillos, and jalapeno pepper and has a creamy texture thanks to the addition of sour cream. To take the edge off from the spiciness, ripe avocados and fresh cilantro are added, resulting in a mouth-watering green salsa that will brighten up any dish it is paired with. Try it with tacos or with tortilla chips, and you won't be disappointed.

Instructions

1.	Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
2.	Add green tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeno pepper, and garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened and lightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.
3.	Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large mixing bowl and let them cool down.
4.	Add the sliced avocado, cilantro, and salt to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients to combine.
5.	Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add sour cream and process until the salsa is well blended and smooth.
