Known in Mexico as the green tomato, the tomatillo fruit was cultivated by the Aztecs long before the tomato arrived, and it remains a favorite in Mexican foods ranging from stews to salads. This tart, yellow-green nightshade has flavors of lemon, apple and herbs and contains a great deal of vitamins A and C, calcium and folic acid. Tomatillos are the heart of our Salsa Verde. Qdoba’s salsa verde blends tangy tomatillos with garlic, cilantro and jalapenos to create the perfect salsa with a medium heat profile. Try it with our Poblano Pesto or pulled pork burrito.
