Ingredients:
1-2 jalapeno peppers (depending on your preferred spice level)
1-2 serrano peppers (depending on your preferred spice level)
2 cloves of garlic
1 medium yellow or red onion
1-2 bunches of cilantro (stems included, depending on how much you like cilantro or leave it out if you prefer)
5-7 dark green tomatillos (use 7 if they are smaller)
2 ripe Roma tomatoes
2 12 oz. cans of fire roasted stewed tomatoes (well drained)
1/4 cup of rice vinegar
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 tablespoon of salt
1 tablespoon of honey or brown sugar
Instructions: In a high powered blender or food processor pulse blend until the texture is similar to a medium to fine dice. This may need to be done in batches and then combined in a large bowl. But careful not to puree the mixture, leave it slightly chunky. Place in an air tight container and refrigerator for at least 4 hours. The flavors and spice will develop more over time. This will last about 1 week in the refrigerator.
Serve with chips, tacos, enchiladas, nachos, or on eggs. This is a great gift or just keep it all for yourself.
