Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 6 tomatillos husked and rinsed
  • 2 Roma tomato
  • 3 jalapeños stemmed
  • 1/4 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 6 ounces Mexican beer
  • 3-5 chiles de árbol (optional)
  • cilantro handful
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. On medium low heat add oil in a frying pan and brown tomatillos, tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, and garlic.
  2. Once browned, add half a bottle of Mexican beer and chiles de arbol, if using into the pan and bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
  3. Place ingredients in a food processor or blender with cilantro and salt and pulse.
  4. This salsa can be enjoyed with beef, fish, or chicken tacos.

Notes

  • Spice level: If you opt to omit the chiles de arbol and remove the seeds and membranes from your jalapeño, your salsa will be rather mild. On the other hand, if you leave the seeds and membranes in tact and also add the extra chiles, it will be a bit fierier. 
  • Store leftover salsa in an airtight container like a sealed mason jar in the fridge for up to a week.
