CHIPOTLE GRILL INSPIRED TOMATILLO-GREEN CHILI SALSA



Chipotle Grill Inspired Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa image

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.

Provided by Sarah

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks     Flank Steak Recipes

Time 4h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 (2 pound) flank steak
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound tomatillos - husked, stemmed, and halved
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix together garlic, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, salt, and cumin until blended. Spread a heavy coating of the spice blend over both sides of flank steak and place in a large glass baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat one side of an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steak from the refrigerator and brush lightly with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Place steak on the hot side of the grill, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Flip steak, cover, and cook another 5 minutes. Move steak to to cooler side of the grill, cover, and cook until desired doneness, about 2 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread tomatillos and garlic cloves on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove vegetables from the oven and cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Scoop tomatillos and garlic into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add chipotle peppers and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; pulse until blended but still slightly chunky. Pour into a serving dish and let cool.
  • Slice flank steak thinly against the grain and serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatillos. Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color.
  • Roast the tomatillos and poblano peppers before blending them. This will give the salsa a smoky, roasted flavor.
  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor to get a smooth salsa. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
  • Store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

This Chipotle-inspired Tomatillo Green Chili Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. No matter how you choose to use it, this salsa is sure to be a hit!
