CHARRED SALSA

Ever wonder what to make when all the summer veggies are ready from the farmer's market or your own garden? This is a salsa that screams summertime, fresh veggies on the grill! This is a slight variation of the Sandwich King's Salsa Negra. Don't be afraid of the tomatillos, when grilled they have a very mellow flavor.

This puréed charred-tomato salsa gets a silky texture from the tomatoes and is as good with chips as it is splashed over tacos.
