Notes
Use it with your regular enchilada recipes. Spread it over wet or green burritos, and chimichangas. Enjoy it as a salsa with tortilla chips.
Dip your flautas, grilled shrimp, or chicken into it. It is awesome with anything and everything.
Wondering if the tomatillo sauce can be stored? You can refrigerate it in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Just warm it in the oven and serve.
You can also freeze it and use it for several months.
You can also use fresh green chilies and tomatillos instead of the canned ones. Remove the seeds of green chilies if you want it less spicy.
Keep the flame low throughout the whole cooking process. Keep stop stirring because the sauce may easily stick to the pan and get burnt.
If you like the sauce chunky, then divide the tomatillos and green chilies into half-half quantities. Blend half and put the other half intact in the sauce.
Love your tomatillo sauce garlicky? Add more garlic if you love the taste of garlic.
