We had a ton of tomatillos left over from the summer harvest that were about to go bad and we were both in the mood for a somewhat healthy snack. Chips and salsa time! Keri and I first started making this salsa not long after we left California and missed our regular trips to Jose’s for their kickass salsa verde. Our recipe is not quite the same but still damn tasty! Recipe is below:
