Taqueria Green Salsa (Salsa Verde)
"This is not like the tex mex green salsa you encounter at big chains that contain avacados or tomatillos. This is a more of a taqueria style sauce that you find in local mexican meat markets. I liked the sauce so much that I asked the waitress at a taqueria if she knew how to make it and she asked a person in the back and was fortunate enough to get an answer. It is VERY spicy."

directions
- Cut the stems off the jalapenos and throw them in a small pot.
- Remove seeds if you don't want it as spicy.
- Add peeled garlic.
- Add a small amount a water, about 1/4 cup or a little more to get a steam effect.
- Place on stove at a low medium heat to get it steaming for about 15 minute.
- Add contents to a blender and add oil and blend until smooth.
- Add salt to taste.
- You may need to adjust salt, water, and chicken cubes to suit the taste because jalapenos are not all uniform in taste depending on the season.
- I used olive oil but I doubt a mexican restaurant uses olive oil.

Tasted exactly like the green sauce at Taqueria Arandas! Made it for a family bbq and got compliments all day!

Excellent sauce!! Someone sent me the recipe months ago & I’m not sure what took me so long to try it. Extremely addicting! I also used avocado oil. Wish I could thank the person who sent it to me. *wink* -
I’ve been making this for a few months. It’s great with chips and anything Mexican! I use avocado oil. Yes, it is very addicting. :) -

This was exactly what I was trying to find a recipe for! I wanted to reproduce the squeeze bottle green sauce at Michoacana or Taqueria Arandas. This does it.
