Dare to deviate from tomato salsa and try this tomatillo-based version for a deliciously addictive change of pace. It’s fantastic on its own with tortilla chips or served as a condiment alongside a variety of meats. —Lori Kostecki, Wausau, Wisconsin

This is a great salsa recipe! I have made it many times using various different kind of tomatoes and tomatillos. We prefer not to use the blender and eat it chunky style. This recipe is great as a salsa for chips or scoop on top of something off the grill. As a volunteer field editor for taste of home magazine I love recipes that incorporate lots of fresh ingredients.
Nice, fresh taste! I made mine on the mild side, but you could easily make it hotter with more peppers.
I didn't have any ripe tomatoes or jalapenos so, I added a can of tomatoes with green chilis (drained). I also added a little extra garlic. It is delicious & I'm sure it will taste even better tomorrow after the flavors have more time to combine! Next time I will add more tomatillos.
Awesome homemade taste! Husband and kids love it mild or hot! I use 2 plum tomatoes and a few extra tomatillos.
I have been making this recipe for several years.A Latino friend gave me this recipe. The only thing I do different is I grill all the veggies and use 2 tomatoes. All my family and friends ask for this at all our gatherings.Very,Very good.
I made this recipe several times this summer and have eaten it fresh and put some in the freezer for future use. I just found some tomatilloes at the farmers market and plan to make more so I will have it throughout the winter. It is very easy to make. Lori, I think the cooking of the tomatilloes just softens them a bit. It still tastes like a fresh salsa because of the other ingredients.
I made it with canned hot green chile peppers instead of jalapenos.
YUMM!! I didn't put as many Tomatillos in as in the recipe as I have never used them before and did add another Jalapeno and more garlic since we like alot of heat I will make it next time with more of everything!!! Just so there will be more to eat Great and so simple!!!
I loved this salsa! Very fresh tasting and a good alternative to normal salsa. I did follow the magazine's directions and cook the tomatillos. Next time I'll try as originally intended to compare the difference.
As the original submitter of this recipe, this was intended to be a fresh salsa. The editors changed the directions. When I make it, it is done 100% in the food processor. I did not submit it as a cooked recipe, although I'd like to hear feedback about how you like the cooked version. Thanks!
