Chef Jenn's Tips
- Control the heat of the jalapenos - like it spicy? Add more jalapeno or include the membrane and some seeds. Use less jalapeno if you don't like the heat.
- Add as much - or as little - cilantro as you like. You can swap parsley for the cilantro if you don't care for it.
- You can make this easy Tomatillo Pico de Gallo recipe up to a day ahead of time.
