Answer 1

A good place to get recipes is Kopykat.com and Copycat.com, they have a lot of recipes from popular resturants. Try there first, if you dont like any of those try putting mexican recipes in your web browser. Good luck.

Answer 2

I have tasted it but have no clue how to start to make it. We mostly use pico di gio (not sure of spelling on that one) at our house. Found this though.
El Chico Salsa Verde
Recipe from: Niki
Servings: 4 Servings


2 tablespoon Pumpkin seeds; pureed
2 tablespoon Green chiles; minced
¼ cup Parsley; chopped
2 cup Chicken stock
¼ cup Cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Roux (1 part cooking oil to 2 parts flour)


Toast pumpkin seeds until brown, or use pumpkin seeds called Pepitas (This I'd prefer. I think you can get these at the spice rack in the store). Grind, with the chiles and parsley, very fine. In a skillet, with ¼ cup cooking oil, add a little of the chicken stock. Add the green chile mixture and stir well, then add the remaining chicken stock. Salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for a few minutes on medium heat. Add roux, and stir, cooking until it thickens then remove from fire. If not to be used immediately, then store in 'refrigerator. Heat only when you need to use it.

And this site is where I got this and it has tons of recipes

Answer 3

Cilantro (I found a bottle in the spice section at our Giant Eagle, but they sell it fresh)...I'm not sure about you, but it was the key ingredient I was missing in mine!
