A vibrant and flavorful salsa made with fresh tomatillos and a hint of spice, perfect for any occasion.
Wash the tomatillos and remove their husks.
Rinse the tomatillos thoroughly to remove any sticky residue.
Chop the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeños into smaller pieces.
Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
Combine the chopped ingredients in a large pot and cook over medium heat until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Transfer the cooked mixture to a blender and add cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling the blender.
Blend until smooth, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
For a chunkier texture, pulse the blender instead of blending continuously.
Pour the salsa into jars and let it cool before sealing.
Leave some headspace in the jars to allow for expansion during storage.
Serve the salsa chilled or at room temperature with your favorite dishes.
This salsa pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.
