Ingredients
2 or 3 jalapeños, stemmed and halved
1 pound (about 9) tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed and quartered
1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro stems and leaves
1 clove garlic
½ medium onion, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Step 1
Taste a bit of a jalapeño to check heat level. If it seems too mild, use 3 peppers.
- 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.
Salsa can be stored in a tightly covered container in refrigerator for up to a week.

Comments
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!
