Alterior Motives

Ok. I'm going to be honest, this recipe is a work in progress. It's good now but will likely change next time I make it so it can go from good to great. The more lime you put in, the more mild it gets. I'm really just posting this one in preparation for my next post. All things lead to... enchilada casserole!

Enchilada Sauce

5ish tomatillos

2-3 tomatoes

1/2 - 1 cloves of garlic (start with 1/2-you can always add more if you like it more garlicy)

2 bell peppers (preferably of different colors)

½ onion

¼ bunch of cilantro stalks

chilis to taste

salt

1-2 limes (optional)

Put tomatillos and tomatoes in a medium hot pan until the side is barely blackened, then turn and repeat until 2-3 sides are barely blackened

Cut bell peppers and onion into chunks (don't worry about making them fine or even, just make them small enough to fit into a blender

Dice cilantro stalks, chilis, and garlic (or use a garlic crusher)
Put tomatoes/tomatillos in blender with garlic and take in the glorious aroma
Use a wooden spoon to smash the tomatoes down a little so they break open, otherwise the blender blade won't be able to do its job

Add everything else into blender

Add salt and lime juice to taste (lime juice will help neutralize too much spice)
