    Start by rinsing the tomatillos under cold water. Remove the husks and place them in a saucepan with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until soft.

    2

    While the tomatillos are cooking, finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat if desired), onion, and cilantro. Set them aside.

    3

    Once the tomatillos are cooked, drain them and place them in a blender. Add the chopped jalapeño, onion, cilantro, the juice of both limes, and salt. Blend until smooth.

    4

    Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you like it spicier, feel free to add more jalapeño!

    Now, serve the salsa verde in a bowl with the tortilla chips on the side. Enjoy your homemade Chips y Salsa Verde!
