📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the broiler to high with a rack about 4-inches below the heat source.
2
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil, then spread the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion quarters, and garlic in a single layer. Place under the broiler for about ⏱️ 5 minutes to lightly brown the skins of the vegetables. (Watch carefully, since smaller peppers can burn quickly.) Using tongs, flip everything over and roast for another 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes, until the vegetables are charred and blistered in spots.

4
Transfer everything (included any accumulated juices) to a blender or food processor along with the cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Pulse all ingredients several times until you reach a course puree (don't over process - you want it to be slightly chunky and have some texture. The salsa might seem thin, but it will thicken up after a few hours as it cools in the fridge. If it happens to seem really thick and you want to thin it out, you can blend in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to your desired consistency.)
5
Taste and season with extra salt and/or lime juice, if needed.
6
Transfer to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator.Use as desired: As a dip for corn chips, with cooked white rice, in burritos, a topping for baked chicken, etc.
