Instructions

  • Step 1

    Peel off the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly with warm water until the surface of the fruit is no longer sticky. 

  • Step 2

    Place the peeled and rinsed tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, cumin, Mexican oregano, and cilantro in a blender and puree until smooth.
