For a spicier sauce, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or add another one. If tomatillos are unavailable, you can substitute with green tomatoes. The green sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Feel free to add other toppings such as crumbled cheese, shredded lettuce, or diced tomatoes.
