1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 jalapeño peppers, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook tomatillos for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly pale. Drain and let cool slightly.

Notes
Roast the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeños under a broiler for a smoky version.
Add avocado for a creamy twist.
Mix in lime juice for extra brightness.
Use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños for more heat.
Add a pinch of cumin for earthy flavor.
