1
Prepare the Tomatillos
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under cold water to remove any stickiness.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Roughly chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat if desired) and the garlic cloves. Set aside.
3
Prepare the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under cold water and shake off excess water. Remove any thick stems.

4
Cook the Tomatillos
In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the tomatillos and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and change color to a dull green. Drain and let cool slightly.
5
Blend the Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked tomatillos, chopped jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

6
Serve
Transfer the salsa verde to a serving bowl. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or tacos.
