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.

Drizzle olive oil over tomatillos, half of a white onion, and 2 serrano peppers.

Toss the vegetables to ensure they are coated in oil.

Broil the vegetables for about 5 minutes until charred.

Remove stems from the serrano peppers and skin from the garlic.

Add the charred vegetables and any juices from broiling to a blender.

Add fresh cilantro and kosher salt to the blender.

Blend until smooth, adjusting texture with water if desired.
