This version works great with tacos, grilled chicken, pork, seafood, or anything coming off the smoker. It has bright flavor with a little heat and a touch of smoke.
Ingredients
6 tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
1–2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat)
2 cloves garlic
½ small white onion
½ cup fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
½ tsp salt
Optional: pinch of Girls Gone Grillin' Sassy Seafood seasoning for extra flavor
Optional Smoky Upgrade (Highly Recommended)
Throw the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic on the grill or smoker for about 5–7 minutes until slightly charred.

Pro Grill Tip
Let the salsa sit 15–20 minutes before serving so the flavors come together.
