Tomatillo-Chipotle Salsa Recipe

Tomatillo-Chipotle Salsa Recipe

  • 1 pound tomatillos (about 10 medium), husked, rinsed
  • 1 small onion, sliced into 1/4″-thick rounds
  • 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 3 canned chipotles in adobo, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Kosher salt
  • Ingredient info: Look for tomatillos, the green, tomato-like fruit with a papery husk, and canned chipotles in adobo at better supermarkets and at Latin markets.
  1. Position an oven rack 6″ from broiler; preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange tomatillos, onion, and garlic cloves on prepared sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until soft and slightly charred, 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Peel garlic; transfer to a processor. Add tomatillos, onion, and any juices from foil, along with the chipotles. Purée until mixture is as smooth as you like. Transfer salsa to a bowl. Stir in cilantro; season with salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let come to room temperature before serving.
