Chipotle Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa
Description
This salsa involves roasting halved tomatillos, tomatoes, whole jalapeños (seeds removed for milder heat), and red onion wedges at a high temperature until they develop charred spots, enhancing the natural sweetness and adding a smoky complexity. After roasting, these ingredients are combined with garlic cloves, kosher salt, black pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, lemon juice, lime juice, and fresh cilantro.
The mixture is pulsed briefly in a food processor or blender to retain some chunkiness rather than pureeing into a smooth sauce. The salsa captures the brightness of tomatillos with the warmth of chipotle-like heat from jalapeños paired with aromatic spices and fresh herbs. It can complement Mexican dishes, grilled meats, or be enjoyed as a flavorful dip.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds tomatillos halved
- 3 vine tomatoes halved
- 2 jalapeños deseeded
- 1 red onion cut into wedges
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup cilantro fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and add the tomatillos, tomato, jalapenõ and red onion to a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until they all start to char.
- Add the roasted vegetables along with the rest of the ingredients to a large food processor or a blender with a vent (the steam will need an escape) and pulse until slightly chunky, about 10-15 seconds.
