Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 medium-sized Tomatillos
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
Instructions
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under cold water to remove the sticky residue.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion (cut into quarters), and garlic cloves (skin on). Cook until they develop a charred, blackened surface, turning occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the garlic cloves from the skillet and let them cool. Once cool, peel the skins off and discard.
Transfer the charred tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and peeled garlic to a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and cumin.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency — smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more salt or lime juice, depending on your flavor preference.
Pour the salsa into a serving bowl and let it cool completely before serving. For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a condiment for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
