Chipotle Grill Inspired Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa

From the moment I first tasted this type at Chipotle Grill I was hooked on this tangy salsa. It's not always easy for me to get to the restaurant and to be honest, they don't give you a very generous portion with your chips. I looked all over the internet to find a recipe for this one, but couldn't find it so I made my own. I created this recipe based on the ingredients list on their website, plus a few of my own touches but the result is very very close. Adjust the hot peppers if more or less heat is desired.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 6-8
• Yields: 1 quart approximately

Ingredients

• 2  medium tomatoes, quartered
• 6  medium  tomatillos (use 12 if they are very tiny)
• 1  small red onion, quartered (for a milder taste use a vidalia onion)
• 2  garlic cloves, pressed or minced
• 2  jalapeno peppers (seeded, roasted (or broiled)
• 2  limes, juice of
• 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro
• 2  tablespoons ground cumin
• 1  pinch red pepper flakes (add more if more heat is desired)

• 1  teaspoon TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce (more for a hotter salsa)
•  sea salt (to personal taste)

Directions

1. Combine the above ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. I gave it about 4 pulses to reach a small sized chunk, perfect for scooping with chips.
