So much better than store bought, and so cheap and simple! Works great on enchiladas.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound tomatillos, husked
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 serrano chile pepper, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano (Mexican oregano if you have it)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
  • 2 cups water
Instructions
  1. Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and chile pepper into a saucepan. Season with cilantro, oregano, cumin, and salt; pour in water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the tomatillos are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Using a blender or food processor, carefully puree the tomatillos and water in batches until smooth.
