Authentic Chihuahua-Style Salsa Verde
This salsa verde is bursting with fresh flavors and is super easy to whip up! Trust me, once you make it, you’ll want to put it on everything!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1-2 jalapeños, stems removed (adjust for heat preference)
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, packed
- 1 tsp lime juice (or more to taste)
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Begin by roasting the tomatillos on a baking sheet under the broiler, turning occasionally until they are charred and blistered. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- While the tomatillos are roasting, you can sauté the garlic and onion in a pan over medium heat until they are soft and fragrant. This step brings out their flavors, so don’t skip it!
- Once the tomatillos have cooled slightly, place them in a blender with the sautéed onion and garlic. Toss in the jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat if desired), cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend everything until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, blend less. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
- Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
