Recipe Notes
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the broiler with a rack about 4 inches below the heat source. Place the tomatillos and jalapeño(s) on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until they’re blackened in spots, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, carefully flip over the tomatillos and pepper(s) with tongs and broil for 4 to 6 more minutes, until the tomatillos are splotchy-black and blistered.
- Remove from oven and set aside
- In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped onion, cilantro and 1/4 cup lime juice. Once the tomatillos are out of the oven, carefully transfer the hot tomatillos, pepper(s) into the food processor or blender.
- Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth. Season to taste with additional lime juice pepper and salt, if desired.
