Look for tomatillos, the green, tomato-like fruit with a papery husk, and canned chipotles in adobo at better supermarkets and at Latin markets.

Broil, turning occasionally, until soft and slightly charred, 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Peel garlic; transfer to a processor. Add tomatillos, onion, and any juices from foil, along with the chipotles. Purée until mixture is as smooth as you like. Transfer salsa to a bowl. Stir in cilantro; season with salt. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
