This simple recipe is similar to Rick Bayless’ “Mexican Kitchen”. It only needs three basic ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips as an appetizer or spoon this smoky, citrusy salsa over your favorite tacos al pastor or quesadillas.
This salsa is addictive! I had to stop my hubby from eating it all before the Cinco de Mayo photo shoot. It’s an easy recipe and I plan on making it often. Salsa keeps for several days in the refrigerator and tastes even better after a couple of days. At this point all the different flavors fuse together, creating one well orchestrated masterpiece.

This easy salsa only needs three basic ingredients. Serve it with tortilla chips as an appetizer or spoon this smoky, citrusy salsa over your favorite tacos al pastor or quesadillas.
Ingredients
- 6 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 4 chipotles in adobo sauce
- 4 large garlic cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the broiler. Place tomatillos and garlic in a bake safe dish and broil for about 8 minutes, turning once, or until tomatillos are blackened in spots and softened. Let cool.

Notes
Salsa keeps for several days in the refrigerator and tastes even better after a couple of days. At this point all the different flavors fuse together, creating one well orchestrated masterpiece.

This, or a variation on this, is one of my favorite and most used salsas. I often mix both tomatoes and tomatillos, which is a nice as well. Great photos, as always.
