The acid-y deliciousness of tomatillo makes it easy to be green for this meal, enchiladas filled with classic flavors and newer delights. Beef and pepper make up the filling, but the tomatillo salsa on top makes up the magic, tart and fresh. And that last squeeze of lime on top? It's sooo easy to be green. Tip: If you notice a sticky residue on your tomatillos, don't worry! It's natural and helps ward off insects; just thoroughly rinse your produce before cooking to remove it.
