How to Make Chipotle Tomatillo Salsa
- Roast the tomatillos: Preheat your broiler. Place tomatillos in a shallow baking pan and broil, turning occasionally, until charred and softened (about 8-10 minutes). Alternatively, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatillos and roast, turning frequently, until charred and slightly softened (about 10-12 minutes).
- While the tomatillos roast, prepare the chipotle mixture: In a small saucepan, combine 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup water.
- Simmer the chipotle mixture: Bring the saucepan to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chiles soften, about 5 minutes.
- Blend the salsa: Transfer the chipotle mixture to a blender. Add the roasted tomatillos (about 1 pound), 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tang, salt for more savoriness, or a pinch of sugar to balance the heat.
- Chill and serve: Transfer the salsa to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats and fish.
