What it is

Tomatillo salsa is a condiment made from tomatillos, which are small, green, husk-covered fruits related to tomatoes. The tomatillos are typically cooked or blended with ingredients like onions, garlic, cilantro, chiles, and lime juice to create a tangy, slightly tart sauce.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use tomatillo salsa primarily as a flavorful sauce or condiment. Its bright, zesty taste makes it a popular addition to Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes, including tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and as a dip for chips.
