Taco Bell no longer serves their Verde Sauce (green sauce) but you can still make this beloved condiment at home.
1 pound fresh tomatillos
3 large jalapeno peppers
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 sprigs cilantro, stems removed
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and slice each in half. Slice the jalapenos in half and remove the stems and seeds.
Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos and jalapenos to the broth and boil for 10 minutes.
Transfer the tomatillos and jalapenos to a blender, reserving the broth. Add the onion, garlic, and cilantro to the blender. Process until smooth.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillo puree and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until dark and thick.
While stirring, slowly stir in the reserved broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently.
Let the sauce cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Great sauce! I miss TB green sauce so much for tostadas. It was so easy. Thank you so much. I agree that itâs a bit different. Probably missing preservatives 😊.

I have always been a huge fan of TB green sauce. This recipe tastes a little different, but this is for sure my new favorite. It tastes so fresh and isn't oily like The Bell's.
