Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husk removed and washed well
  • 2 fresh jalapenos, seeded
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon course salt
  • 1 small white onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions
 

  • Remove the husks from one pound of tomatillos, rinse well.
  • Toss the tomatillos, onion, and seeded jalapenos in the olive oil and the salt.
  • Place on a large baking sheet.
  • Turn your broiler on high and broil until the vegetables become charred. (For me this was about 1 minute, then I flipped them over and broiled for 1 more minute). Watch very carefully and make sure not to burn.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Cut the ends off the onion and cut into into quarters, discard the outer layers.
  • Add the tomatillos, jalapenos, and the onion to blender along with cilantro, spices, and the juice of one lime and blend on high until smooth (30 seconds to 1 minute).
