I made this last night with tacos, turned out very good! It went well with the tostadas(premade from Aldis). It could have used another 1/2 cup of black beans, they were a little under-represented :) I also cheated and used a can of refried beans, I’m sure it would be even tastier w/homemade. I will be adding this to my recipe binder to use again in a tex/mex meal!

We made these tonight and they were amazing! My normally very picky husband loved them, which is a complete miracle. Your site has saved my vegetarian-life!

I have made this 4x in the last 10 days, needless to say my husband and I are addicted! And this is just one of the many recipes I have made from your blog! I have your book on my bday wishlist!

I took a shortcut and used refried beans which my husband loves but I made the salsa without beans, delish!

I am 13 and made this for my family and we LOVED it! I’ve already made it 3 more times after that and will definitely will be making it again! I love how healthy it is! Thanks for another yummy and healthy recipe!

Made this recipe for some family and everyone loved it! I was hesitant to try it at first because I haven’t cooked with tomatillos before. I typically think of tomatillos as being blended into sauces rather than chopped up and eaten like a pico de gallo. Boy am I glad I tried it anyway! It tastes so fresh and vibrant – it’s really like nothing I have ever had before. I couldn’t stop eating it! I have already shared the recipe with a few others who loved it just as much as I did.
I especially love this recipe since I am not a huge fan of regular tomatoes; this was an awesome alternative. Thanks Kate for this new family favorite!

In reply to Tracey Eno. Hi Tracey! Thank you so much for your comment. It made me smile. Thank you for catching that typo, too. It's been there for four years now! Yikes! Usually, my mom catches them. That's the only way I know that she reads my blog. :) Delighted to hear that you both are enjoying my recipes. Please thank your friend for me, for sending you my way!

Hi Kate!
First, THANK YOU for being you! (And thanks, Cookie, for being Cookie–adorable little thing, you!!). A friend shared your site with me a few months ago and I really appreciate all your excellent recipes, and all the time it must take to create, test, photograph, write and post them. My wife is a marathon runner and does best on a gluten-free diet, so your site has been a source for many healthy dinners. Thanks for providing GF option notes. I also appreciate that you are a good writer, and your content is always top-notch in terms of the message, grammar, spelling etc. In today’s age of texting and not even teaching cursive in schools (!?) your skills are rare. There’s a tiny editor living inside me. I did find one tiny typo here on step 2 of Instructions, where it says to “Back for about ten minutes…” It’s your good friends like me who take the time to tell you these things–everyone else just lets you go. Looking forward to your cookbook!! Be well, and thanks for helping us stay healthy, inspired and well. Love from Orlando–Tracey

Kate, I stumbled on this recipe during my pantry/fridge clean-out. I was looking for something to do with my tomatillos. I was missing a couple of ingredients but managed to use a couple substitutes (red onion for the shallot, and lemon juice for lime juice). Then I noticed I did not have another can of black beans so I used the green goddess hummus (again, using subs) as my bean base on the tostada and man, it still came out great! Thank you for some great vegetarian options. I have been feeling so alive since I have started my gradual switch.
