Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatillos
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped white onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions

  1. Remove the husks from the tomatillos and wash them thoroughly.
  2. In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add the tomatillos and jalapenos. Boil for about 5 minutes until the tomatillos turn a bright green color.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos and jalapenos to a blender or food processor. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and sugar.
  4. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. If the salsa is too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out.
  5. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more salt or lime juice if desired.
  6. Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve the salsa verde with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or use it as a sauce for enchiladas or chilaquiles. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
