How to Make Taco Bell Style Green Sauce
- Husk 1 pound tomatillos and cut them in half.
- Stem and halve 2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat, or leave some in for extra spice).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatillos, jalapeños, and 1 cup of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the tomatillos are tender.
- Carefully strain the mixture, reserving the cooking liquid.
- In a blender, combine the cooked tomatillos, jalapeños, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped white onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Blend until almost smooth, adding a little of the reserved broth if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully pour the tomatillo mixture into the hot pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and darkened slightly.
- Add 1/4 cup of the reserved chicken broth to the mixture. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This sauce tastes even better the next day!
