Tomatillo Pico de Gallo

This Tomatillo Pico de Gallo wants to be in your kitchen! Lately I use it for quesadillas and it's always a hit.

🥄 Ingredients

  • 4-5 tomatillos
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 serrano pepper (or jalapeno)
  • 15-20 sprigs cilantro
  • juice of 1/2 lime (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. De-husk the tomatillos and give them a good rinse.  I usually de-stem them as well.   

  2. Be sure to give the cilantro a good rinse as well.  I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portions of the cilantro stems, but keep the upper portion of the stems that hold the leaves together.

  3. Rinse and de-stem the serrano.  For a milder version, start with only 1/2 of the serrano. 

  4. Chop up the tomatillos, serrano, cilantro, and the peeled 1/2 onion.  Combine everything in a mixing bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the juice of 1/2 lime.  Give it a taste and add more salt or lime until it tastes right to you. 

  5. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
