Description
This vibrant Homemade Salsa Verde bursts with tangy tomatillo flavor, a touch of heat, and a bright herby finish. Perfect for tacos, enchiladas, dipping, or spooning over eggs. Easy to roast, blend, and customize to your preferred spice level.
Ingredients
1 pound tomatillos
3 garlic cloves
1 to 2 jalapenos or serrano peppers
1 small white onion
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Remove the husks from the tomatillos, rinse, and dry them.
3. Place tomatillos, garlic cloves, jalapenos, and sliced onion on the sheet.
4. Broil for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly charred.
5. Transfer all roasted ingredients to a blender.
6. Add cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
7. Blend until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
8. Taste and adjust salt, lime, or spice level if needed.
9. Chill before serving to let flavors meld.
10. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later.
Notes
Use serrano peppers instead of jalapenos for more heat.
Grill the tomatillos and peppers instead of broiling for a smoky flavor.
This salsa improves after a few hours in the fridge; make ahead for stronger flavor.
