Instructions

Add the tomatillos, jalapenos, tomato, and dried chile de arbol to a large skillet (saving the onion, garlic, and cilantro for later). Turn heat to medium/medium-high and pan-roast the produce for 5-7 minutes, occasionally using tongs to turn everything over. Continue cooking/turning until all sides are nicely charred.
Add roasted ingredients to a food processor or blender with the garlic, salt, and pepper. Puree until large chunks are gone. Pour the salsa into a bowl and then stir in the onion and cilantro. Taste for needed salt and pepper. Enjoy!* This recipe makes approximately 2 1/2 cups.
