CHIPOTLE-TOMATILLO SALSA
This definitely isn't a mild salsa. However, the heat comes from a few small chiles, all of which are required for the flavor. The chile tepins in particular are very small, but they round out the flavor in a subtle but wonderful way so I don't advise leaving them out. (To cut the heat a bit, you can try removing some of the seeds in the chipotles, but it's messy business with the canned peppers in adobo...) I think a touch of cilantro might be a perfect addition; I'll try it next time and update with the results. Either way: this salsa is SOOO addicting!

SALSA DE TOMATILLO
This is the 'salsa de tomatillo' that I grew up with. It can be used as a sauce for grilled chicken, fish or shrimp, as the basis for green chilaquiles (pour over tortilla chips, shredded cooked chicken and shredded Monterey Jack, then heat under the broiler), and as a dipping sauce for chips. Delicioso!

Steps:
- Place the tomatillos, chiles, garlic cloves, and onion in a dry, cast iron pan. Toast, turning occasionally over medium-high heat until the husks of the tomatillos have blackened and their skins turn translucent. The goal is to soften the tomatillos by blackening the skin without allowing them to split. Remove from pan, and allow to cool slightly.
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos and the stems from the peppers. Place into the bowl of a food processor with the cilantro and salt to taste; process to desired consistency. Pour the salsa into a saucepan, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes to mellow the flavors and remove the raw taste.

RICK'S ESSENTIAL ROASTED TOMATILLO-CHIPOTLE SALSA
Rick Bayless's salsa is especially delicious served with tamales. He uses a molcajete -- a three-legged basalt mortar -- to grind the spices, tomatoes, and tomatillos together. A blender can also be used.

Steps:
- Set an ungreased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. If using dried chiles, break off their stems. Toast the chiles a few at a time. Set them on the hot surface, press flat for a few seconds with a metal spatula (they'll crackle faintly and release their smoky aroma), then flip, and press down to toast the other side. Transfer the toasted chiles to a bowl, cover with hot water, and let rehydrate for 30 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure even soaking. Pour off all the water, and discard. If using canned chiles, simply remove them from the adobo sauce in which they are packed.
- On a heavy, ungreased skillet or griddle over medium heat, roast the unpeeled garlic, turning occasionally, until blackened in spots and soft, about 15 minutes. Cool, slip off the papery skins, and chop roughly.
- Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet, and place in broiler about 4 inches from heat. When, after about 5 minutes, the tomatillos have blistered, blackened, and softened on one side, turn them over, and roast on the other side. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Scrape the tomatillos (and any juices that have accumulated around them) into a molcajete, food processor, or blender, and add the rehydrated or canned chiles and garlic. Combine until everything is thick and relatively smooth. For a chunkier alternative, scrape the tomatillos and juices into a molcajete, food processor, or blender, and add the garlic. Combine until everything is coarsely pureed. Chop the chiles into tiny bits, then stir them into the tomatillo mixture. Transfer salsa to a serving bowl, and add enough water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency, about 3 to 4 tablespoons. Season with salt, and add sugar if you want to soften its tangy edge.
Tips:
- Roast the tomatillos and chiles. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. - Use fresh tomatillos and chiles. Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. - Choose the right type of chipotle peppers. There are two main types of chipotle peppers: canned in adobo sauce and dried. Canned chipotle peppers are milder than dried chipotle peppers. - Use a food processor or blender to puree the salsa. This will give it a smooth consistency. - Season the salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. - Let the salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together. - Serve the salsa with your favorite Mexican dishes. It is great with tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and more. ###Conclusion:
This tomatillo salsa with chipotle is a delicious and easy-to-make salsa that is perfect for any Mexican dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatillos and chiles. So next time you are looking for a new salsa recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
