This authentic Mexican tomatillo salsa verde has is fast and easy to whip up. We like it as a traditional salsa to serve with corn tortilla chips, but you can also use it on chicken enchiladas or as a condiment for any Mexican dish.
Ingredients:
– 1-2 lbs tomatillos, husked and rinsed
– 1 T. chopped onion
– 1-2 jalapeno peppers, serrano pepper, or Hatch green chile
– 2 cloves of garlic
– 1/2 cup of cilantro
– a pinch of paprika, 2 T. lime juice, salt and pepper
Recipe for Tomatillo Salsa Verde:
1) Begin with the tomatillos. Peel the skin off and rinse the tomatillos under some water. Cut in half and place the cut-side down on a pan. Place under the broiler for 4-5 minutes until there is a nice char on the outside of the tomatillos.
2) Put the broiled tomatillos into a food processor with onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, paprika, salt and pepper. Pulse until desired chunkiness. We like ours fairly smooth.
you can also add 1-2 ripe avocados halved and pitted, for a different and creamier version of this salsa.
