I first made tomatillo salsa because of Juliann Esquivel's delicious recipe here on JAP, the link is below. But as time went on, I found a love for pablanos, so I created a quick little salsa of my own. But I have to say, it is because of Juliann that I began experimenting with peppers at all, and I will be eternally grateful to her for opening this door for me.
