Homemade Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde
We recommend that if you want to use the tomatillo sauce as the Mexicans do, you can use it in many preparations, such as the classic tacos al pastor or green enchiladas. It is an easy recipe with which we invite you to accompany your favorite practices. We suggest that if you can’t get fresh tomatillos or want to speed things up, use a 28-ounce can of tomatillos instead. Drain them and skip the roasting process. Although you will avoid the toasty flavors, you can add the canned tomatillos and onions directly to the blender.
This sauce is a sample of combinations of the recipes of our country Mexico; in it, you can taste sweet, acid, and spicy flavors, all at the same time. This sauce has become one of the most famous in the country.
