Lisa Fain’s Mexican Street Taco Salsa Verde

Recipe By: Lisa Fain, the flavor wiz behind Homesick Texan

What You’ll Need

1 pound tomatillos, husked and cut in half
2 cloves garlic
2 Serrano chiles, seeded and chopped
1/4 medium yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon peanut or olive oil

Step By Step

1️⃣ Blend It Green
Add the tomatillos, garlic, serrano chiles, onion, cilantro, salt, and cumin to a blender. Blitz until smooth, bright, and very ready for taco duty.

2️⃣ Let It Get Saucy
Heat the oil in a saucepot over medium-low. Pour in the blended salsa and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors settle in and the salsa thickens slightly.

3️⃣ Taste, Tweak, Serve
Taste and adjust the salt or seasonings as needed. Serve it hot, cold, or straight from the fridge when your tacos need backup.

SCROLL ALL THE TACOS!
