This moderately spicy salsa gets smokiness from chipotle chilies and tanginess from tomatillos. We char the fresh ingredients under the broiler to soften their textures and flavors, while also developing roasted notes. We developed this salsa as an accompaniment for tacos Árabes, but it’s fantastic with almost any Mexican or Tex-Mex dish. Or simply dip into it with tortilla chips. The salsa will keep in an airtight container for up to five days; allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
