Salsa Verde

This is a super easy recipe and doesn't take any cooking just a food processor or blender. 
1 pound or tomatillos
1 bunch of cilantro
1/2 onion
2 jalopenos
3 cloves of garlic
juice of 3 limes
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoons of cumin
Peel and wash the tomatillos
Roughly chop up the onion
Seed and quarter the peppers and add peeled garlic
Add salt and cumin
Blend in a food processor or blender.  I used an immersion blender.  It takes a little long and splatters but gets the same result.
 Stir the juice of the limes and roughly chop up cilantro up and stir in. 
Enjoy with chip, on nachos, or it makes a great sauce for enchiladas.
