All it takes is a sheet pan, some tomatillos, an onion, a jalapeno and a blender and if you want to add cilantro, you can. Sometimes I add a little cream for a creamy enchiladas verde. I’ve created a list of add-in’s in the recipe, so you can make it your own. This salsa verde is the base for many Mexican dishes and even soup (a recipe that I’m still working on).
