I liked this salsa and roasting the tomatills was really cool. I think I might have overcooked my tomatillos just a bit and ended up with a little bit of bitterness. I blended in some red bell pepper and that helped. Next time I'll watch my roasting time. Easy to make and easy to adjust to your taste! Thanks for making Diana! Made for CQ 2017, Central American.

We're making tacos for lunch and I wanted some homemade salsa to go with them. We love tomatillo salsa and this recipe is so delicious and fast and easy to make. We roasted the tomatillos and then everything else just came together very quickly. It's always better when you make the salsa yourself and this delicious salsa will be my go-to recipe. Delicious!

I only had a 1/2 pound of tomatillos so I had to cut the recipe down a bit. My proportion of lime just was kinda over the top but it made for a delicious salsa anyway! I used 1/2 of a jalapeño and added a bit of onion before I realized it wasn't called for! Went really well with guacamole and chips! CQ4

Delicious!!! I normally make a boiled tomatillo salsa, but the roasting adds another dimension! That lime juice really sparked things up, too! I can imagine using this on so many things... enchiladas, carnitas tacos, shrimp tacos... I had both peppers, so I used one each of the jalapenos and the serranos. Yum!!!
