Authentic Salsa Verde

This authentic salsa verde is way better than store bought tomatillo salsa.  It's so easy to make and very versatile.  It tastes just like the salsa verde you get in Mexico!  Serve it with tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, spooned over huevos rancheros, or anything else you want to taste great.
