Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Hold 4 raw tomatillos back, but place the rest of the halved tomatillos and the roma tomato cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake until they begin to toast, about 20 minutes.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos and tomatoes, the raw tomatillos, jalapeños (start with a half jalapeño if you're not sure, see note 1), red onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin and oregano. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth with some texture (see note 2).
- Taste and add more chiles and/or seeds depending on your preference for spiciness. Remember, the salsa tastes spicier when warm and when tasted without food. It will be milder after chilling and when eaten with food.
- Add lemon and lime juices, and season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). Yield: About 2 cups.

SALSA DE TOMATILLOS Y CHIPOTLES
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatillas on a baking tray and broil, turning frequently until slightly charred, 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. In a saucepan combine water, garlic, chiles, onion and cilantro and simmer until chiles are tender. In a blender combine tomatillas and simmered mixture and process to desired consistency, but not liquified. Transfer salsa to a bowl and add salt and 1/2 teaspoon sugar, to taste.
- Blend until pureed, but not liquefied.
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!
