- 1 cup salsa verde (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
- Prepare the salsa verde by blending tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeños in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and set aside.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about one minute on each side. Keep them covered to stay warm.
