Peel the husks off the tomatillos and rinse them.

Heat up a griddle to roast the tomatillos, jalapeno, onion, and garlic.

Roast until dark spots appear, turning as necessary to avoid burning.

Remove roasted ingredients from the griddle and let cool for a few minutes.

Place the roasted ingredients into a food processor.

Add cilantro, a little bit of water, salt, and cumin to the food processor.

Pulse a few times to break down the ingredients, then puree.

Cut open the avocado, remove the pit, and spoon the flesh into the food processor.

Squeeze in fresh lime juice and mix everything one last time.
