tomatillos

🥗Healthier: green tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatillos

Canned tomatillos are often less expensive and still provide a similar flavor.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: serrano peppers

💰Cheaper: banana peppers

Banana peppers are milder and more affordable.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dried cilantro

Dried cilantro is a budget-friendly alternative.

Chop the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic.

Grill the chopped ingredients over an open fire until charred.

Use a large mortar and pestle to grind the grilled ingredients together, starting with the peppers, garlic, and salt, then adding the onions and tomatillos.

Continue grinding until well combined.
