This vibrant green chili salsa is a punchy, fresh condiment perfect for elevating tacos, nachos, or grilled meats. Made with roasted tomatillos, sharp yellow onion, and an impressive amount of jalapenos, it delivers a bright, acidic kick balanced by fresh cilantro and lime. The addition of tarragon adds a unique herbal note that distinguishes this from standard pico de gallo. Be warned: this recipe uses five jalapenos, making it quite spicy for heat-sensitive palates. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor distribution. It’s an excellent choice for summer gatherings or when you crave a serious burst of Mexican-inspired flavor.

Coarsely chop the cleaned tomatillos and place them in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, chopped jalapenos, fresh tarragon, sugar, salt, black pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil to the bowl with the tomatillos.
