Salsa Verde/ Tomatillo salsa gets its color from… you guessed it, green peppers and tomatillos.
It can de spicy or mild depending on the amount of peppers used. I like my salsas mild so that’s what this recipe will produce.
My thoughts…
I think that most salsa while very different can be interchangeable in most dishes, there are exceptions. Salsa Verde and Salsa Roja are interchangeable. They both go great in just about anything: tacos, tostadas, burritos, quesadillas. I’ve even drizzled it on top of my salads. I prefer my tacos with Salsa Verde, I think it blends well with the flavor of the meat.
This salsa is simple to make and if you don’t finish it in one day it stays good in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
