I love chips and salsa! It’s true! I like to put it on chips as well as many other foods. I have been known to put it on my eggs, chicken, shrimp and the list goes on.

That is why I wanted to share my Smoked tomatillo salsa recipe with y’all and my bff has been asking me for the recipe ever since she tasted it! Thank goodness, as an only child, I am a good sharer of most things! haha!

What Do You Need To Make This Delicious Smoked Tomatillo Salsa?

For this awesome smoky salsa, you will need the following ingredients:

3 lbs of tomatillos- remove the husk and give them a bath.

3 Jalapenos- more or less to taste- remove seeds for less heat or leave them for more spice!

8 cloves of Garlic

3 Serrano Peppers

1 Bunch of Cilantro

2 Yellow Onions

1/4-1/2 Cup of Lime juice

1/4-1/2 Cup of Honey (optional)

Olive Oil

Salt

You will need a smoker and a blender for equipment.

Here are the ones that I use:

Green Mountain Grill Jim Bowie

Blendtec Blender

Green Mountain Pellets

Here’s The Details:

Once all of the veggies (peppers- remove or keep the seeds it’s up to you on how spicy you like it, tomatillos-remove the husk first, onions and garlic) are washed, line baking sheets with parchment paper and place them on it. Drizzle with a little olive oil.

Place them in the smoker for 1-2 hours at 225. If you are like me and you forget it might be closer to 2 hours haha!

After they are good and smokey, bring them inside and work in batches to blend them all up. Add lime juice and salt and stir. You can add the honey too if you like. Put all of the batches in a big bowl and stir.

You can enjoy it hot or cold it’s up to you! Let your favorite chip take a dip and ENJOY!
