CREAMY TOMATILLO SAUCE

Spicy is always fun, but adding a creaminess to it can take the fun to another level. I love this sauce as it is filled with awesome flavors, along with a comforting creaminess, making any protein of choice absolutely delicious. The prep time is worth it!

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed

Remove from heat and cool for about 10 minutes. Peel off all skins and discard.
