This flavorful salsa verde is delicious with tortilla chips, but it's also great served on tacos and grilled meats. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
  • 3 to 4 serrano peppers, stems removed
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. In an ungreased skillet, cook tomatillos over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes, turning frequently. Cool on a wire rack. For a milder flavor, remove veins and seeds from serrano peppers; finely chop peppers.
  2. In a food processor, combine tomatillos, peppers, onion, 2 tablespoons cilantro, garlic and salt; cover and pulse just until mixture is coarsely pureed.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Refrigerate until serving.
