TANGY TOMATILLO SAUCE
Recipe from Chef Rick Bayless. So yummy and versatile. I have used this sauce as a dip with tortilla chips and also for green chicken enchiladas and green burritos. It's even yummy on scrambled eggs and in breakfast burritos too. If you want it spicy add some red pepper flakes before blending. Enjoy! :)

- Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. Use fresh cilantro, onions, and garlic.
- Adjust the heat level: If you like your sauce spicy, add more jalapeños. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before adding them to the sauce.
- Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
