Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Taste a bit of a jalapeño to check heat level. If it seems too mild, use 3 peppers.

  2. Step 2

    Combine all ingredients plus 2 tablespoons water in a blender. Pulse a few times before blending into a purée. Add a bit more water if needed: the salsa should be pourable. Serve.

Tip
  • Salsa can be stored in a tightly covered container in refrigerator for up to a week.

A splash of unseasoned rice vinegar adds extra moisture and tartness, which complemented the tomotillos well. This was a fresh and fast salsa to top "street tacos" on little corn tortillas. Liked it!
