Ingredient Notes
If you’re not familiar with tomatillos, they are small green tomatoes with a papery wrapper on the outside
Poblanos are a mild green chile similar in size to a green bell pepper. If you’re very sensitive to spicy foods or can’t find poblanos, you can substitute with green bell peppers
I prefer to use dino or lacinto kale instead of curly kale, but whatever you can find will work fine
Feel free to use whatever type of tortillas you’d like (except for corn tortillas)
Only use a dried chile if you have some on hand. There’s no need to go out and buy a whole bag of dried chiles for this recipe, since you only need one.
