Serve hot or cold, as needed. Notes and tips If you cannot find fresh tomatillos, you can use canned ones. If you can't find either you can substitute them with regular tomatoes; the taste will not be the same but it will be close enough. In case you use regular tomatoes, you might have to cook the sauce a bit longer (in order to get the desired consistency) as regular tomatoes have a bit more liquid than tomatillos.
