Roast the Tomatillos, Peppers, Garlic and Onion:

  • Preheat your broiler or grill to high heat.

  • Roast them under the broiler or on the grill, turning occasionally, until they are charred and blistered. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.

Blend the Ingredients:

  • Once the tomatillos, peppers, garlic and onion have a nice char, transfer them to a blender.

  • Blend until you achieve a smooth, vibrant green salsa. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Transfer your freshly made Mexican Green Salsa to a serving bowl.
  • Serve it as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite tacos or other dishes.
  • Don't forget to customize the spice level by adding more or fewer serrano peppers according to your preference.

Tips and Variations:

  • If you prefer a milder salsa, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano peppers before roasting them.
  • Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like avocado or roasted poblano peppers to create your unique variation of green salsa.
  • This green salsa also pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, seafood, and as a dip for tortilla chips.
