This weekend, upon finding our fridge full of tomatillos, we decided to make a treat and indulge in some chips, salsa and margaritas. These foods are the stuff that weekend nights in summer are made for.
Even though we didn’t have any chips on hand, we decided to give home-made baked corn chips a try. Though tasty enough for the two of us, I’ll save that recipe for a time when it is better perfected. But the sweet salsa verde is worth sharing. Paired simply with chips or with shredded lime chicken with a bit of cheddar on top, this salsa is made for summer.
