TIPS:
1. To remove the strong sharp taste of the onion, add it into a bowl with hot water and 2 teaspoons of salt. Allow it to stand for 10 to 15 min. and drain
2. The canned green tomatoes, or a ready to use sauce, can be purchased from Mexican ingredients suppliers. See the Useful Links section in our website.
