"Broiling the tomatillos gives this salsa a subtly smoky taste. If you are sensitive to spicy food, remove the seeds from the peppers. This salsa is perfect as both a dip for taco chips and to top enchiladas suizas." — eileen

We can't get enough of this! I grew two big tomatillo plants in my garden this year, but I plan on growing 4 next year just to have plenty of tomatillos to make this salsa. This is very easy to make in a food processor. I used a little more cilantro and a little more onion. A half-teaspoon of salt is good too, but not necessary.

The roasting of the tomatillos & simplicity of the ingredients makes this recipe! It's fairly spicy, so if you're sensitive, you can remove the seeds and veins of the jalapeno and it makes it a little more mild.
