Tangy Tomatillo Sauce image

Recipe from Chef Rick Bayless. So yummy and versatile. I have used this sauce as a dip with tortilla chips and also for green chicken enchiladas and green burritos. It's even yummy on scrambled eggs and in breakfast burritos too. If you want it spicy add some red pepper flakes before blending. Enjoy! :)
