Salsa Verde is a classic Mexican condiment that adds a burst of flavor and heat to any dish. This version uses authentic ingredients such as roasted jalapenos, fresh cilantro, and garlic to create a rich and piquant sauce. It pairs perfectly with tacos, burritos, grilled meats, or even eggs. This recipe is served hot, which makes it perfect for cold winter nights when you need something to warm you up. The tortillas and onions in the recipe add a subtle sweetness to balance out the heat of the jalapenos.

Instructions

1.	Roast the jalapenos on a skillet until they charred and blistered, then transfer them into a blender.
2.	In the same skillet, cook the garlic, onions, and tortillas until the onions are translucent. Add them to the blender.
3.	Add cilantro, salt, and enough water to barely cover the ingredients in the blender.
4.	Blend everything until it becomes a coarse and chunky sauce.
5.	Heat the olive oil on a skillet over low heat. Add the salsa verde, and heat for a few minutes until it's hot.
