For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the tomatillos and jalapeno before blending. Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your preferred level of spiciness. Fresh cilantro is key to this recipe, but if you're not a fan, you can substitute with fresh parsley. This sauce is best served chilled. It will thicken slightly as it sits in the refrigerator. Experiment with different fajita seasonings to find your favorite flavor profile.
