- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat to prepare for roasting.
Remove husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove any sticky residue.

Transfer the roasted ingredients to a blender or food processor. Add the chipotle peppers in adobo, fresh cilantro (leaves only), lime juice, salt, and olive oil.
Blend the mixture until smooth. Taste and adjust salt or chipotle peppers for heat level if needed.
Pour the salsa into a serving bowl or jar. Allow it to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
