Description
A fresh and vibrant salsa verde recipe, perfect for tacos, chips, and more. Made with tomatillos, cilantro, and lime juice, it’s a zesty addition to any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1–2 jalapeño peppers, stemmed and seeded
- Juice of 2 limes
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to broil. Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet and broil for about 5-7 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are charred and softened.
- Allow the tomatillos to cool slightly, then add them to a blender or food processor along with the cilantro, onion, jalapeños, lime juice, and salt.
- Blend until smooth, adjusting seasoning as needed. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, pulse the ingredients until you reach your desired consistency.
- Transfer the salsa verde to a bowl and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite Mexican dishes.
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, roast the tomatillos on a grill instead of broiling.
- Adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeño, or substitute with a milder pepper if desired.
- Store any leftover salsa verde in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
