Number Of Ingredients 5

3 garlic cloves, peeled
4 medium tomatillos (about 1/2 pound), husks removed, skin rinsed, and halved
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (add more if you like really spicy salsa)
1/4 cup water
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and tomatillos. Cook tomatillos, cut side down, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip vegetables and cook until tomatillos are browned and completely soft and garlic is browned.
  • Transfer garlic and tomatillos to a blender or food processor, along with chiles in adobo sauce and water. Process to a coarse puree, about 5 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool. Thin with a little more water if necessary. Season with salt.
