Prep the Tomatillos Properly: Tomatillos are a lot like tomatoes but are covered in a husk. Simply peel it off and give it a quick rinse to get rid of the sticky residue. Choose the Right Chilies: For this tomatillo red chili salsa, I recommend using fresh red chili peppers, jalapeño, and chipotle peppers in adobo. These will give your salsa a nice balance of heat and smoky flavor, and make it the perfect copycat Chipotle recipe. Roasting Your Tomatillos and Chilies: Before adding them to your salsa, make sure to roast your tomatillos and chilies in a hot cast iron skillet. This will not only enhance their flavor but also give your salsa a nice, smoky undertone. Adjust the Spiciness: If you're not a fan of super spicy food, feel free to deseed your chilies or even reduce the amount of hot peppers you use. On the other hand,
If you love the heat, don't be afraid to add an extra jalapeño or two. Customize the Consistency: Pulse the mixture in a food processor or blender until the red tomatillo salsa reaches your preferred consistency. You can go for anything from super-smooth to rustic and chunky, depending on what kind of snack or appetizer you’re serving the spicy salsa with.
