Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound tomatillos (, fresh or canned)
  • 1/2-1 jalapeno (, minced (optional))
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup cilantro (, add more to taste)
  • 1 lime (, juiced)
  • 1-3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (, add more to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • If using canned tomatillos, drain and place in the blender. If using fresh tomatillos, remove the skin and place the tomatillos and jalapeno on a pan. Broil for 3-5 minutes. Flip and broil a couple more minutes, or until dark spots have appeared. Alternatively you can boil tomatillos in a pot of water for 5-10 minutes. Place on a paper towel to dry and allow to cool.
  • Allow the tomatillos to cool and then place the onion, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, garlic and jalapeno in a blender. Add tomatillos and blend until the salsa is smooth. Salt to taste. Add more jalapeno if you like it spicier. Add more sugar if you like it sweeter.
  • Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy with fresh tortilla chips.
