Banana peppers are milder and more affordable.

cilantro

Dried cilantro is a budget-friendly alternative.

Saute 10 or 12 small tomatillos and 5 jalapeños in oil for about 7 minutes until charred.

Add onion and garlic, cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes.

If desired, add 2 types of cheese and cook for 2 more minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon or salt and cook for 1 minute in the oil.

Pour in 1/4 cup of water and mix, letting it come to a simmer.

Add cooked veggies, some of the water, a bunch of cilantro, and salt to a blender.

Blend until smooth and enjoy.
