Chipotle Medium, Green-Tomatillo Salsa Recipe At Home - by a former Chipotle Employee

Hey everyone! This is about as close as you can get to the real thing! I have put together a recipe based upon their list of ingredients that mimics the recipe as close as possible that you wont be able to taste a difference! Let me know of anything else you would like to see!
Recipe:
Tomatillos: 1.1 Lbs
Vine Tomatoes: 2 or 7 Ozs
Garlic Cloves: 2
Diced Jalapenos: 1 Tablespoon
Diced Red Onion: 3 Tablespoons
Diced Cilantro: 3 Tablespoons
Kosher Salt: 1-2 Teaspoons to taste
Citrus Juice: 1/2 Teaspoon of lime juice and lemon juice
Cumin: 1 Teaspoon
NOTE*
Make sure to broil the tomatillos, tomatoes, and garlic for 12 minutes total, 6 minutes each side.
Make sure to blend until well combined, however long this takes on high with a food processor or blender.

I want to personally thank you for the Chipotle chicken recipe. I made it last night and taste EXACTLY as Chipotle. You’re awesome

[@CookingwithChris1]

Hey thank you! That’s a huge compliment! I hope this helps enhance your lifeb

[@lexijones8414]

Can’t wait to try it

Its great that he shared a recipe, but you can’t really say he doing the Lord’s work by showing us how make a salsa. When writing about the Lord always make sure to capitalize the first letter to show Him the utmost respect. But we should thank God for this dude that showed us how to make a dope salsa

[@oscarc7853]

I have tried this medium salsa twice. I used the same ingredients(what I had on hand) in different proportions. Not leaving out the spices either time or the lime which besides the tomatillo is the most important acid. And it still taste like the real deal. It is SOO refreshing to find someone who makes a promise and then actually delivers on that promise. Thank U For your kindness.

[@SunnyBunnyHunny909]

Absolutely my favorite salsa that I been wanting the recipe for and you delivered!!

[@jaysenb]

Chris is the gift that keeps on giving!

[@jonsible]

Yo this video leveled up my home salsa game for real. Roasted tomatoes/tomatillos with raw onions/jalapenos is my shit. I've been making tomatillo salsa at home for years and after a bunch of extra cilantro+jalapeno this ended up being the best I've made. Thank you!

[@CookingwithChris1]

hell yeah

[@onv7386]

I really appreciate your videos. I’m looking forward many more videos to come. Thank you.

[@francof8463]

Wow thank you so much for this. You’re a legend. Would love to see a video on the corn salsa too

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thank you!!! I have a video on that under chipotle chicken bowl 😎

[@mkryu]

Just made this. Very easy to make (I used my Nutribullet) and it’s so good! This salsa has a prefect tartness to it and I actually like this one better than the red tomatillo salsa. I wasn’t sure whether to keep the skins on the tomatillos and tomatoes but I peeled them off in case the charred parts had any bitterness. Thanks for this recipe video. I need to get more tortilla chips for this weekend!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Hell yes!!! Isn’t it?! It’s addicting!!! It’s so simple to! I will say, the next day you need to stir it thoroughly. In the stores it’s only good for one day!

[@val29035]

I made all your videos to make a bowl and it tasted exactly the same! Thank you sooo much ☺️

[@thedigitalfoodie7094]

Wow, yesterday I had this in chipotle, was wondering how to get this perfect taste at home, I think now I got the perfect chipotle rceipe. Thank you!

[@CookingwithChris1]

No problem!!

[@robhulson]

Tonight, I made it again. This time? I lit some charcoal and threw the tomatoes on my grill. I also used one entire Serrano pepper. It finally really tastes like a medium salsa. Addicting, this. It's also great on eggs later on in the week.

[@CookingwithChris1]

Hell yeah rob!!! I’m glad it worked out perfect for ya!

[@GamingSymphonies]

I don't even use this salsa, but had to make sure to leave a like and a view anyway for the best chef on KZbin!

Also is it one teaspoon of citrus as mentioned in the video or 1/2 teaspoon as it says in the description?

[@kimsullivan7065]

Hi- thanks for the recipe- its my favorite! When I made it, it seemed either too acidic or too limey. Any ideas?

[@CookingwithChris1]

Make sure to refrigerate it for at least a few hours after making it. When its hot it tastes bitter and acidic. Just need time to meld

[@Gabriela-fq9ss]

Where does chipotle get their tortillas from?

[@ArabellaPoppy]

I made this recipe but mine came out bitter maybe because of the tomatillos. What do you think I did wrong?

[@melissawalker2133]

Your recipe ingredients under the description is missing the oregano.

I heard Chipotle uses regular, Daisy’s sour cream, but how do you guys get it so thin?

[@bicylindrico]

sour cream mixture by mixing chipotle, salt, sour cream, garlic, and lime juice

[@lexijones8019]

He made a video on this

[@noblecyriac1712]

I made this but it tastes a little bitter. Any thoughts on why? I peeled the garlic before broiling it instead of peeling it after the broil.

[@noblecyriac1712]

I also blended til it was smoothie texture.

[@CookingwithChris1]

Did you let it refrigerate for at least an hour till cooled? It will taste bitter until it is cooled then it should be acidic and have almost a slightly charred flavor

[@noblecyriac1712]

@@CookingwithChris1 not yet I will try that! Do you think it’s also because of how fine I blended the mixture?

[@CookingwithChris1]

Honestly there’s was a little more chunky from what I remember. I pulse the mixture then stir it up!

[@svhome1981]

Superb stay connected

[@MikeSmith-ur6jx]

Do you have to core the tomatoes/tomatillos at all before putting them in the processor or do you just take them out of the oven & put them in it?

[@CookingwithChris1]

No coring needed. Just drop them into the processor. I also make sure there’s no stems on them.
