Yummy Salsa Verde Recipe

The love for Tex-Mex and Mexican food in our house is pretty obvious! You can see it week after week in my What to Cook Wednesday weekly menus. Plus, we’re regulars at our local Mexican restaurant and you’ll always find salsa in the house.
Typically, I focus on more traditional salsa and guacamole {although, I have been known to make the guacamole with bacon!}, but I decided I wanted to try my hand at a salsa verde recipe for something a little different.
What You’ll Need:
– 20 tomatillos (little green tomatoes)
– 2 serrano peppers (seeded if you prefer it less spicy)
– 4 cloves of garlic
– 1 onion, roughly chopped
– 1 can diced green chiles
– 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
– 2 Tbsp cumin
– 1 tsp white pepper
– 1 tsp black pepper
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 tsp mexican oregano
Let’s Make It:
1) Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and add the tomatillos, garlic and onion.
Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until juicy. Let cool slightly.
2) In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, onion and garlic with remaining ingredients. Pulse until blended to desired consistency.
3) Refrigerate until ready to eat. Dig in!
How is that for a super simple salsa verde recipe?! I love the flavor of the roasted tomatillos because the roasting adds such a smoky quality to the flavor of the salsa! Definitely give this one a try!
