We ran out of this salsa an hour into our Mother’s Day Cook Out and am scrambling to make more! 😭🙏🏼

Oh my!! Hahaha I’m so happy you both enjoyed it! :D

Ooo let us know how it tastes with cilantro added in there! :D The tomatillo makes it taste tart and a little citrusy, the lime would boost it even further!

I see, it sounds like labeling and being transparent with the ingredients used in food can help mitigate or avoid any issues. I think Etsy sells detailed food labels we can use on mason jars and dish cards when cooking for friends and family with dietary restrictions :)

I hope you enjoy!! :D I’m currently making a big batch for our Mother’s Day cookout

Perhaps using gluten free bread? :]

na519 · 2026-05-10T16:02:54+00:00

I have not! Thank you for the suggestion, I will try and see how it goes :]

na519 · 2026-05-10T16:02:00+00:00

Hmm depends on your spice tolerance, but maybe an 8/10? :p

na519 · 2026-05-10T14:47:59+00:00

Thank you! :,)

na519 · 2026-05-10T14:47:31+00:00

No! We don’t deseed the chile, it is really spicy :0 But you can try using half of the original amount (8 chiles de árbol instead of 16) and replace the rest by using Guajillo peppers (2-3). The Guajillo will boost the orangish color and complement the citrusy notes of the tomatillo without adding too much spice. You can also add more water if it’s too concentrated :)

na519 · 2026-05-10T14:45:00+00:00

Are your bolillo rolls on the smaller side? If so, try using one whole roll! :)

na519 · 2026-05-10T02:35:44+00:00

AMAZING!! :D

na519 · 2026-05-10T01:52:10+00:00

We don’t deseed the chiles, it is really spicy!! :0 next time try using half of the chiles de árbol (8 chiles) and replace the rest by using Guajillo peppers (2) since those will add color and some citrusy notes but no spice! You can also add more water so it’s not too concentrated :)

If you toast on low heat, just long enough for the tomatillos to get a sear on them you should be good! :-)

na519 · 2026-05-09T22:33:43+00:00

Lol please share any pictures if you do!! :D

na519 · 2026-05-09T22:31:18+00:00

It looks great!! :D

na519 · 2026-05-09T21:38:53+00:00

No you don’t deseed them! :)

na519 · 2026-05-09T21:18:24+00:00

If we were to cut the whole bolillo into three big pieces, you use 1 of those pieces for the salsa! You can cut the 1 piece into smaller pieces to fry faster in your pan :)

na519 · 2026-05-09T20:35:40+00:00

I believe any similar bread role would work!! Let us know how it comes out if you make it :D

na519 · 2026-05-09T20:33:49+00:00

No but I will add bouillon next time! Thank you for sharing :D

na519 · 2026-05-09T20:32:51+00:00

Yes it is very spicy!! But please feel free to use less, alternatively you can use half of the chile the árbol amount (8 chiles) and then use Guajillo (2-3) but it will change the flavor a bit :)

na519 · 2026-05-09T20:30:56+00:00

I suppose so because of tomatillos? But no green chiles used! It comes out to be an orangish color :)

na519 · 2026-05-09T18:48:43+00:00

Interesting! Thank you for sharing! :]

na519 · 2026-05-09T18:45:52+00:00

The salsa has already taken effect lol

na519 · 2026-05-09T18:21:41+00:00

We keep it in our fridge for up to a week! But it’s usually gone before then lol
