Super fast & yummy! I made my own tomatillo salsa so I could control exactly what my family was eating (and make it spicier)...we all loved it, will make again for sure! Somone asked about the prep of the corn tortillas...you can just warm them in a dry skillet to save the calories you'd get from deep frying them :)
