AUTHENTIC ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA VERDE
We eat so much Mexican inspired meals. I’m slowly adding more and more Mexican (Tex-Mex? Mexican Southern? my version of Mexican…) recipes to my repertoire. Sauces, well, technically this is a salsa, are so easy to make, but the last thing I usually tackle. However, this recipe is crazy simple and you know I love making sauces and seasonings so I can control the salt.
Tomatillo Salsa Verde is good over enchiladas instead of red sauce, omelets, and with tortilla chips. As well, it’s great over grilled chicken, chicken and rice bowls, and Fajita Chicken Bowls. It’s also good with Dutch Oven Birria tacos and quesadillas.
