NOTES:
  1. Tomatillos:

      These are easy to find in the Southwest, even in major supermarkets, but will cost a lot less in smaller markets serving Mexican communities. You can also grow your own anywhere tomatoes grow well. Regular green tomatoes are not an acceptable substitute. For details see our Tomatillo page.
  2. Chilis Serrano

      Here is where you adjust the hotness by your own best judgement. 2/3 of an average size Serrano cut from the thin end should be fine for most people, but if you have doubts, use 1/2, and if you like chilis, use the whole thing. For details see our Chilis of North & Central America page.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
