Easy and good. My husband thought it was better than most Mexican restaurants.

I've made the recipe twice, once with canned tomatillos and once with fresh - fresh is better, but both were excellent. I love the tangy flavor. This will be a regular I'm my rotation.

Very good. Added cumin, garlic and some corn meal to thicken a bit. Only used half jalapeño and it was just spicy enough for my family. Kids actually ate it. Thanks!
