It’s why “fire roasted” canned tomatoes are so perfect for Mexican and Tex Mex recipes.

Grilling tomatillos couldn’t be easier.

You just husk them and put them on the hot grill until they are lightly charred.
That way the corn absorbs the smoky flavor of the corn husks as it cooks.
Great withchipsor a salsa for tacos.

Grilled Tomatillo and Corn Salsa
This recipe makes a batch of salsa big enough for a crowd.
Feel free to cut the recipe in half.
Place the tomatillos directly on the grill.

(If you are using fresh corn, there is no need to soak them in water.)
Grill until the husks are completely charred and blackened all around.
(SeeHow to Grill Corn on the Cob.)
The flavor from the charred corn husks will cook into the corn as it grills.
Strip off the burnt husks and silks from the corn cobs.
Use a sharp knife to cut away the corn kernels from the cobs.
Pulse until pureed, with a few remaining chunks of tomatillos.
Adjust seasonings, add more salt to taste.
