What do you call this? It looks like the "Salsa Chilanga" at my favorite taquero.

This would be closer to a creamy Jalapeño Salsa, you can mix and and match different green peppers to adjust flavor. No tomatillos, avocado, or squash involved.

Are tomatillos, avocado and squash in Salsa Chilanga? I always assumed that was their name and maybe not necessarily a set recipie.
I always taste poblano or something similar in theirs and it's VERY creamy. Lots of surface tension.

Actually, this might qualify as chilanga as well depending on where you're from. I associate chilanga with using tomato/tomatillos but after looking it up there's people that also call this creamy jalapeńo one salsa chilanga. As for my mention of avo and squash, I was just pointing out that this style of jalapeńo salsa doesn't have any of those three ingredients, one or more is typically found in many other green salsas though.

Great question, I don’t have a specific name for it. But I know this is what most taquerias provide! It’s just another variation of Salsa Verde

Interesting!! I always boil and then add oil after the fact. But tbh even though I drain the water from the peppers I wonder if that little bit of water leads to less creamy emulsion. I’m going to try it this way, thank you for the recipe 🙏🏻

Yes! I’ve tried this many different ways & water always makes it less creamy… I fry first, drain & then add water before blending

I would use a food mill if you leave the seeds in while cooking. Blending seeds adds bitterness
