Continuing on with our Cinco de Mayo Taco Week, I present this salsa!

It was a complete HIT for our taco game night and was especially appreciated by those of us that likes spicy and hot foods and it was a perfect accompaniment for our fish tacos as well!

Also, these are great with any freshly picked tomatillos which are not only very easy to grow but for a tomatillo rookie like me, a great way to use up the abundance of tomatillos that I managed to grow!

Not the best light, but a super delicious salsa!

You can dip your chips in them, spoon it into tacos, use it as a topping for any burrito, enchilada or wrap! Either way, if you find that you are unsure about tomatillos or don’t eat them often, try this salsa – it will change your view on tomatillos! Just be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling them as they can be quite sticky and slimy as you cut them.

Buen Provecho!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb tomatillos, husked, rinsed & coarsely chopped
• 1/2 C coarsely chopped cilantro
• 2 fresh jalapenos, seeded and coarsely chopped
• 1 large garlic clove
• 2 TBS chopped white onion
• 1-1/2 tsp kosher salt

Blend the tomatillos first then add all the other ingredients until smooth.

Taste for additional salt and chile and blend again, chill and serve cold.
