This Roasted Tomatillo Salsa is a tangy, slightly spicy green salsa made with roasted tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic. Perfect for dipping or as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, and grilled meats.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 1 to 2 jalapeño peppers, stemmed (seeded for less heat)
  • 1/2 medium white or yellow onion, peeled and quartered
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Place tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until vegetables are softened and lightly charred in spots.
  4. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  5. Transfer all roasted vegetables and any juices to a food processor or blender.
  6. Add cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
  7. Process until the salsa reaches desired consistency – either smooth or slightly chunky.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

  • For a milder salsa, remove seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before roasting.
  • This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Great as a dip or as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, or grilled meats.
