If you have the time, give the Salsa Verde recipe referenced above from NutritionStudies.org a try. It’s delicious!! Making the salsa from scratch takes longer than 15 minutes so if you are tight on time, grab your favorite store bought salsa to top these tacos.
Store bought salsa buying tip: try to find a salsa that does not have sugar in the ingredients. There’s really no need to add sugar to salsa. Unfortunately sugar sneaks into a lot of store bought foods.
