Chipotle Salsa Verde
Well we knew we wanted a Salsa Verde for our Mexi-Eggs Benny recipe that we pulled together for Mother’s dAY but we didn’t quite know how much we were going to LOVE IT! We loved it so much, we created a second very similar recipe with a little more heat! I love that just by adding a chiptole pepper, green pepper & 1/2 of a serrano pepper you bring the same great flavors with a little more heat.
We are in love with how easy these Salsa Verde recipes are because they are also incredible healthy and have far less sugar and calories then a jar of salsa.
Ingredients
3-4 Tamatillos, rinsed
1 Green Pepper
1 Jalapeño
1 Chipotle Pepper
1/2 Serrano Pepper
4 large Garlic Cloves, whole
1/2 Large White Onion
1/4 Cup Cilantro
1-2 Tsp. Salt
1-2 Tsp. Lime Juice
Directions
Other then your white onion, which has to be cut due to us only requiring 1/2 for the recipe … all veggies should stay whole. Garlic should have the skin on when roasting also.
Roast Veggies on broil HI (lightly coated in oil) close to the top of the oven about 3-5 minutes or until veggies start to darken.
Remove from oven, flip the veggies over and repeat.
Remove the veggies from the oven and allow to cool enough to handle. Remove the ends and 1/2 of the seeds of the peppers, and remove the skins of the garlic.
Add to food processor, season with salt & lime juice.
Taste and add additional salt & pepper if needed.
