Ingredients

  • 12 whole Hatch Chiles
  • 1 whole Jalapeno
  • 8 whole Tomatillos, Husks Removed
  • 1/2 whole White Onion, Chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 3 whole Large Limes
  • 13 cups Chopped Cilantro
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Red Pepper Flakes To Taste (optional)
  • 1/4 cups Water, More Or Less
  • 1 Tablespoon Casa Noble Tequila (per Cup Of Salsa)

Method

  • Turn on your ovens broiler to high.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and put the Hatch chilies, the jalapeno and the tomatillos on it so you capture any juices that seep out.
  • Put pan under the broiler for about 10 minutes until blackened, then turn everything over with tongs and blacken the other side.
  • Remove pan from oven and set on a rack until cool enough to handle.
  • After they cool, put on your gloves and remove the charred skin and most or all of the seeds from all of the peppers.
  • Cut the tomatillos into small cubes and chop the jalapeno.
  • Put the veggies, the juice from the pan and all the remaining ingredients except the tequila and water in a blender and pulse.
  • Add water as needed to thin it out.
  • I think the tasty ratio for salsa to tequila is 1 cup salsa to 1 tablespoon tequila.
  • Of course, you can add or subtract, but if kids are around, skip the tequila, obviously.
  • You can finish it off with some finely chopped onion if you want a little more crunch in it.
  • Grab a bag of chips and call it a day.
  • Its also a great marinade.
