SALSA DE CHILE PASILLA DE MICHOACAN
A delicious green sauce from Northern Michoacan. This is really good over boiled rice (morisqueta) or fried cheese (Minguichi). I have used this sauce on tacos and enchiladas with good results also. Yield varies depending on the size of your chiles and tomatillos. This recipe doubles easily and freezes well.
