Ingredients

16 medium tomatillos (husks removed and rinsed (see note 1))

6 cloves garlic (unpeeled and lightly crushed)

3 tablespoons ground chiles (such as New Mexico (see note 2))

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons lime zest (from 1 lime)

2 tablespoons lime juice

Tabasco sauce (to taste (see note 3))

Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

tortilla chips (for serving)

Directions

Preheat oven to broil and set oven rack 6 inches from broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Place the tomatillos and crushed garlic on the baking sheet and place in oven. Broil until charred, about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Peel garlic.

In a food processor, combine tomatillos, garlic, ground red chiles, cumin, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with Tabasco.

Add 1-2 teaspoons extra ground chiles if you would like it a bit more spicy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve with tortilla chips.
