Salsa Verde

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Great news! Tom Cholicchio recently declared this summer the summer for tacos and I am so onboard. I love Tom and I love tacos, so let me ask you – want to start a movement?

Let’s make tacos!

I’m topping mine with a spicy salsa verde packed full of tomatillos (which, by the way, I’ve decided I need more of in my life. It’s been a long time since they’ve crossed my path, poblano peppers, a jalapeno, and plenty of fresh cilantro and lime juice.

I tossed the tomatillos and peppers onto a hot grill…

…before chopping them all up in the food processor with some cilantro, parsley, lime juice, garlic and salt.

And then – voila – tacos!

Grilled chicken, cheese, and salsa verde all wrapped up together in a grilled tortilla.

It’s the summer of tacos, everybody – let’s get going.

Roasting the peppers and tomatillos on the grill gives this salsa a smoky flavor. Make it ahead and enjoy it on tacos, nachos, sandwiches, scrambled eggs or anything else that could use a spicy kick of flavor.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound tomatillos, quartered with papery skins removed
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • Salt, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Place the peppers directly on the grates so the skins get charred and blistered. I used a grill basket for the tomatillos, but if you don’t have one you can skewer them and grill them. Just be careful removing them from the grill. Grill the tomatillos for 5 to 10 minutes or until they’ve are softened.
  2. Once the peppers are charred and blistered, remove them from the grill and place them in a paper bag. This will help them steam, which makes removing the skins easier. After a few minutes, once they’re cool enough to handle, peel the skins off and discard. Don’t worry if you can’t get all of the skin off – just remove as much as you can. Remove the stems and slice the peppers open to remove the seeds, unless you want the salsa very spicy.
  3. Chop the roasted peppers and add them to a food processor along with all of the other ingredients. Pulse it until it’s you get the consistency you like – some people like a smooth salsa and others like it chunky. I like mine a little in between. Give it a taste and season it with more salt, if needed. Transfer the salsa to a bowl, cover it, and let it sit in the fridge for at least a few hours.
  4. Serve with your favorite tacos. I grilled up some chicken and topped it with the salsa, some feta cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice.
