• STEP 1.Start by husking and rinsing the tomatillos. Then, place them in a saucepan with jalapenos and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the tomatillos are soft.

• STEP 4.Transfer the sauce to a jar or container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
• STEP 5.Serve the Mexican Green Sauce as a dip with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos or enchiladas, or as a marinade for grilled meats. Enjoy!
