Chipotle Green Salsa FAQs
I like to roast or broil (grill) my tomatillos for more flavor, but boiling is the more traditional method.
Always remove the papery husk and rinse the tomatillos before roasting. The skin of the fruit can be left on as it will soften when roasted.
“Salsa verde” just means “Green Salsa”, which is very generic and could use other ingredients. Tomatillo salsa is made with tomatillos.

Notes
Nat's Notes:
1. You can find canned chipotles in adobo sauce in the latin/ethnic aisle of your grocery store.
2. If you've never used tomatillos, they look like green tomatoes covered in a paper-like husk. Just remove the husk and give them a quick rinse before roasting.
