Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Remove husks from tomatillos. In a large pot of boiling water, add tomatillos and cook for about 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapenos, and salt to blender. Add in warm tomatillos. Pulse until finely chopped and blended.
  3. Cool in refrigerator to allow flavors to mingle. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cooking the tomatillos is necessary for the best flavor. You can quickly boil them, as listed in the recipe card. You can also broil or roast them in the oven, but they lose a bit of tartness and have a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • Like it spicy? Leave some of the membranes and seeds with the jalapenos to give the salsa more heat. Or you could add a third jalapeno to this recipe.
  • Refrigerate the salsa, covered, to allow the flavors to marinate and allow the salsa to cool down before serving.
