Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tomatillos, husks removed and halved
2 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
Vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tequila
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Juice of 1 lime
Tortilla chips (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Toss the tomatillos, poblanos and scallions on a rimmed baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until well charred, flipping once, about 5 minutes per side. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins from the poblanos.
  • Put the charred vegetables in the bowl of a food processor along with the tequila, chili powder, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Pulse until well mixed but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve with tortilla chips.
