How to make Fresh Homemade Tomatillo Salsa
Thanks you SouthWestIron for the tantalizing recipe.
Learn how to make an awesome Tomatillo salsa. This fresh homemade salsa recipe is one that we love and are sure you will enjoy it as well. We used some store bought tomatillos for this recipe although I’d suggest you grow your own.
We currently have some out back in the garden and are awaiting their maturity. They are easy to grow and will produce nicely with minimal effort. This southwest traditional salsa originates across the border from our neighbors to the south and was passed on to my beloved wife.
After living for years in Texas I’ve grown accustomed to traditional Mexican food and this is a mainstay in our home.
As with most Mexican dishes attention to detail otherwise known as LOVE is a must!
