Salsa Ingredients

  • 2 cups Tomatillos - (husks removed and rinsed)
  • 2 cups Tomatoes - (I used romas but you can use other varieties)
  • 2 ea Onions Medium (approx 1 ½ cups) - (Walla Walla were used)
  • 4 ea Garlic Cloves
  • 1 cup Cilantro - (Loosely packed)
  • ½ ea Lime Juiced
  • ½ cup Hatch Chiles - (Roasted and Chopped)
  • 1 cup Corn on the Cob - (Grilled)
  • 1 can Black Beans - (Drained)
  • 2 ea Chipotle Peppers
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

Grilling the Salsa Ingredients

  • Preheat your grill.
  • Slice the Walla Walla Onions into ½" slices
  • Over a high heat, char and blister the tomatillos and tomatoes.
    Once they are softened and have some char, remove from the grill and reserve.
  • Grill the Walla Walla Onion slices to get some char and soften them.
    Remove from heat when the onions are softened.
  • Remove the husks from the corn and roast the corn on the cob over a medium high heat.
    The kernels should begin to develop color and soften after a few turns over the heat. Remove from the heat.
    Cut the corn kernels from the cob and reserve.
  • If using fresh hatch chilies, blister over a high heat to roast them.
    Remove from the grill and place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to steam the skin off.
  • After 15 minutes, peel and seed the roasted hatch chiles.
    Dice into ½" pieces to add to the salsa at the end.

Assembling the Salsa

  • Peel the skin off of the tomatoes.
    I did this to avoid having any peel pieces in the end salsa.
  • Chop the Walla Walla Onions into a rough chop about ½" pieces.
  • In a food processor, add the tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic and chipotle peppers.
    Pulse to break them down.
  • Turn on the food processor and let them puree.
    Run for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
    Pulse to combine these ingredients.
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed. Ex. more salt, lime or cilantro.
  • Add the roasted corn and black beans.
    Mix to combine into the salsa.
  • Serve with chips or on your favorite taco or burrito.
    Enjoy!
