Love this salsa recipe. It tastes delicious!
haven’t made this yet, but I saw her similar recipe for this salsa she uses for Chicken enchiladas, but she boiled the tomatillos, onion, and pepper first. Has anyone tried boiling this vs pan roasting it? Wondering if the taste would be very different.
4th time to make this salsa and absolutely love it
Fantastic! Looking forward to learn more yummy Mexican recipes
I love this salsa. I’ve made it several times and it always comes out great.
Loved this chile salsa!!! I didn’t add any water and the consistency was just right.
This is a great recipe, as are all the recipes from your show that I have tried. I AM VERY UPSET WITH FOOD NETWORK FOR PUTTING YOUR SHOW IN SUCH AN INCONVENIENT TIME SLOT!!!! What are they thinking? So many of their recent schedule changes are irritating to me…and I’m sure many other viewers. The notion of running multiple shows of one chef in a day’s schedule is crazy.
Good luck Marcela and I hope enough other of your fans complain so that you will once again have a better time slot. Thanks for the wonderful recipes.

Tasty and easy, everyone I prepare this salsa for wants the recipe.
I’ve made this salsa a number of times and love it. I’ve used chicken or vegetable stock in place of water and it comes out great. If too watery for you, brown some ground pork in frying pan, pour salsa over it and reduce to your liking. Scoop into a warm tortilla and sprinkle with queso fresco (mild) or queso cotija (tangy) cheese . Hello!
My husband and I just made this. It did not turn out good at all. It was very sour. We won’t make this again.
