For the Pico de Gallo

4 tomatoes, diced

¼ cup fresh minced cilantro

0.5 jalapeno, diced (take out seeds if you don’t want it to be too spicy)

1 Juice of lime

For The Tomatillo Salsa:

Preheat broiler and place baking sheet in oven.

Halve the tomatillos and toss with olive oil. Place on preheated baking sheet flesh side down. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until skin is blistering and browned.

10 tomatillos

A drizzle of olive oil

After they've cooked, place tomatillos into blender. Add onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice. Blend until slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

0.5 an onion, diced

0.5 a jalapeno, minced

1 Juice of lime

¼ cup cilantro, minced

4 medium avocados

0.5 jalapeno, seeded (can also be unseeded for less heat)

0.5 Juice of a lime

0.25 Spanish onion, chopped

Salt, pepper, and cumin to taste

Add flour, salt, and baking powder to food processor. Pulse to combine.

Add lard and process until mixture resembles wet sand.

3 tbsp of lard

Drizzle warm water into mixture while the processor runs. Continue to process until a ball of dough forms.

Keep tortillas warm in a low oven while preparing the rest of the dish.
