Smoky Chipotle Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa is not your average salsa. It’s a fiery fusion of tangy tomatillos, smoky chipotle peppers, and zesty green chiles — perfect for adding depth to tacos, grilled meats, or even your morning eggs. Whether you’re throwing a backyard BBQ or just spicing up a midweek dinner, this salsa brings serious flavor to the table.

Let’s dive into why this recipe is a must-try — and how to make it at home.


🌿 Why You’ll Love This Salsa

  • Smoky, spicy, and tangy: The combination of roasted tomatillos and chipotle peppers creates a complex, layered taste that’s hard to resist.
  • Versatile: Use it as a dip, marinade, taco topper, or base for enchiladas.
  • Fresh & homemade: No preservatives, no weird ingredients — just bold, natural flavor.
  • Customizable heat: Make it as mild or as spicy as you like.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 lb (about 8–10) fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 2–3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 roasted green chiles (like Hatch or Anaheim), peeled and seeded
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ small white or yellow onion
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper for extra heat
  • Optional: Splash of olive oil for richness

🔥 How to Make It

1. Roast the Tomatillos

Place tomatillos on a dry skillet, grill, or under the broiler. Roast for about 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re charred and softened.

2. Roast the Onion and Garlic (Optional)

For deeper flavor, toss the onion and garlic cloves onto the hot skillet and char them slightly alongside the tomatillos.

3. Blend It All Up

In a blender or food processor, combine:

  • Roasted tomatillos
  • Chipotle peppers
  • Green chiles
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Cilantro
  • Lime juice
  • Salt

Blend until smooth or leave it a little chunky — your call.
