Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
8 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 serrano pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
½ medium yellow onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
½ cup cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
½ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high. Spray a baking sheet with fat-free cooking spray.
  • Cut tomatillos in half and place cut-side-down on the prepared baking sheet with serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, and garlic.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until charred, about 20 minutes, turning peppers halfway through cooking time.
  • Remove vegetables from the oven and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Remove stems from peppers and peel garlic.
  • Combine tomatillos, serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a food processor and pulse to desired consistency. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salsa turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of chili peppers.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover tomatillos. I always have a few extra on hand and this is a great way to use them up.

I love that this recipe uses fresh ingredients. It makes the salsa taste so much better than the store-bought stuff.

This salsa is so easy to make and it's so versatile. I use it on tacos, burritos, nachos, and even just as a dip with tortilla chips.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this salsa is the perfect balance of heat and flavor. It's not too spicy, but it still has a nice kick to it.

The roasting process really brings out the flavor of the tomatillos. I love the smoky taste.
