Remove the husk from the tomatillos and rinse them under cold water.

Dry the tomatillos with a paper towel.

Heat 3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the tomatillos and 3 jalapeños to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated in oil.

Cook the tomatillos and jalapeños, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly charred.

Add 1 garlic clove to the skillet, being careful not to let it burn.

Once charred, transfer the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to a blender.

Add a good handful of cilantro and chicken bouillon to the blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy.
