What you might think is a small odd looking green tomato is actually a tomatillo. Don’t be afraid to add a few to your shopping cart. Tomatillos have a sweet, but tangy flavor and can be used the same way you use a tomato.

My new favorite tomatillo recipe is Tomatillo Chicken.
Tomatillo chicken is great served on top of brown rice or with a side of veggies. I made a little extra chicken to cut up for tomorrow on top of a salad, or wrap up in a burrito. Below are a few more recipes to try. Enjoy!
