This salsa is made with fresh ingredients and is very common in central México where it is used for tacos Al Pastor or other grilled meats.  It is a very refreshing version  of the cooked tomatillo salsa.

In these hot days of summer it is an excellent companion for your barbecued steaks.

It lasts up to 3 days in your refrigerator.
