15 Delicious Ways to Use Tomatillos
A tomatillo is like a gift: It’s a tart green fruit (that’s sometimes confused with an unripe green tomato), wrapped in a crinkly husk. Peel the wrapping away and you’re left with a world of culinary possibility.
If the first thing you think of when you see tomatillos is salsa verde, we don’t blame you. Us too! Not only is the sauce totally irresistible, but it’s also super versatile; it’s the perfect spread to take a chicken or steak sandwich to the next level and a must for enchiladas. Don’t limit tomatillos to just salsa verde, though — they’re capable of so much more! They can give a standard plate of huevos rancheros a delicious lift, add huge flavor to soups, and transform a pork tenderloin.
While tomatillos are available year-round, their peak season is right now. To help you take full advantage, we’re sharing 15 delicious ways to use these green gems for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
