Ingredients

  • 6 tomatillos husked and rinsed
  • 4 chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the broiler. Place tomatillos and garlic in a bake safe dish and broil for about 8 minutes, turning once, or until tomatillos are blackened in spots and softened. Let cool.
  2. Scrape the tomatillos and any accumulated juices into a blender; add the chiles, roasted garlic (skins removed), and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • Tip: bring salsa to a light simmer and cook the salsa for 8 to 10 minutes. Cooking the salsa helps remove the natural pectins in the tomatillos and keep your salsa from clumping up when refrigerated. 
  • Store leftover salsa in an airtight container like a sealed mason jar in the fridge for up to a week. 
  • Freeze cooled roasted tomatillo salsa with chipotles in an airtight, freezer-safe container or plastic bag for up to 3 months. 
  • Reheat by allowing frozen salsa to thaw in the fridge or at room temperature. This roasted tomatillo-chipotle salsa is delicious chilled or at room temperature!
