First Things First! What Are Tomatillos?
Tomatillos are the superstar of the famous salsa verde or, in this case, tomatillo salsa. They are eaten raw or cooked and are originated from Mexico. Have I mentioned how beautiful they are? Like the strawberry groundberry fruit, the tomatillos are covered in this silk-like veil that protects their bright green skin.
Its sour flavor makes it perfect for salsas, and many other fresh Mexican inspired recipes. If you haven’t tried it yet, I really encourage you to do so! You’ll love it!
Tomatillo Salsa: Sour, Fresh & Spicy!
This green tomatillo salsa is such a great addition to all those rich recipes you love so much! You can add it on top of guacamole for a super lush dip, or as a base for a black bean taco to bring out all the flavors! The jalapeños and the green peppers give this yummy salsa that hot kick that just makes it so perfect!
If you are not a fan of the super spicy flavors, then add only half a jalapeño or omit altogether! Don’t like cilantro? Use parsley instead! Make this fantastic tomatillo salsa your own and make it on repeat!
