Jalapeño Tomatillo Sauce
Serve this spicy sauce over a fiery southwestern dish to really pump up the heat. The jalapeños and tomatillos create a tasty verde sauce, and the spice really sneaks up on you! But even though this dish is hot, there is always room for more, so experiment with chili peppers, hot sauce, or cayenne pepper for an even more powerful punch!

1 teaspoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
