What makes this easy homemade salsa so insanely good? The CHAR. That thin dark line between a flavor enhancer and just downright burnt, char can add amazing depth of flavor - it just takes a little bit of patience, awareness of heat, and just a hint of grilling technique. This is the sign you need to stock up on our Spiceology Chile Margarita signature blend - it's a perfect blend any time of year, but it makes dishes shine in spring and summer. Don't have a grill? Chef Ryan also includes instructions on how to achieve char in the oven.

Chile Margarita Charred Salsa Verde

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Spiceology Chile Margarita Mexican Citrus blend
  • 1 ½ lbs fresh or canned green tomatillos (note: I learned fresh hold up better on the grill)

  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 jalapeño
  • ½ bunch of cilantro

  • 4 cloves garlic, rough chop
  • Olive oil, as needed

Directions

  1. Fire up your grill on high or turn your oven’s broiler on high
  2. Quarter your onion, half your jalapeño and season your veggies with olive oil and 2 tablespoons of Spiceology Chile Margarita blend.

  3. Place your veggies on the grill or in your oven until veggies are soft and charred nicely, remove.
  4. Place your charred veg, fresh garlic and cilantro along with the 1 tbsp of Spiceology Chile Margarita in a container or in a blender. Blend all your ingredients together (adding a bit of olive oil if you need to loosen it up) and blend until no chunks and everything is combined.
  5. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  6. Enjoy as a dip or with your favorite tacos!
