Ingredients
▢
¼
cup
fresh guajes
(+ 1 tablespoon for garnish)
▢
2
jalapeño peppers
▢
½
lb
tomatillos
▢
2
small
garlic cloves
(peeled)
▢
salt
(to taste)
Instructions
Heat a cast-iron skillet or a comal and roast tomatillos and green chilies for a couple of minutes.
Remove chilies and tomatillos and roast quickly the guajes.
Add garlic, salt, and guajes to a molcajete or mortar and grind for a couple of minutes (read notes).
Add the remaining ingredients in batches so they will be easier to grind.
Keep grinding until you achieve the desired texture for your salsa. If needed, add a few tablespoons of water.
Adjust salt to taste, garnish with fresh guajes and serve.
Notes
You can also use a food processor to make the salsa. Add all ingredients at once and pulse a few times to achieve a chunky texture.
