Spicy Roasted Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce Recipe

Roasted Tomatillo Sauce Ingredients:

The main ingredients in Tomatillo Sauce are tomatillo, chile poblano (roasted), garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, lime juice,  and chicken stock or chicken bouillon (my special ingredient). I highly recommend making sauce with stock/bouillon for that extra depth of flavor just like sauce you get at restaurants. (for vegetarian option, read ahead)

How to Roast Tomatillo for Sauce:

The signature flavor of this sauce comes from roasting the tomatillo. To make the sauce, I first remove husk of green tomatoes. Whip these with wet tissue. Place in a bowl, coat in olive oil and drizzle some salt and pepper. You can roast tomatillo various ways:

  1. Grill - To grill (gas or charcoal), transfer tomatillos to a perforated grill pan. If your grill can fit tomatillos directly on grill. That should be fine as well. Roast on high heat until skin of tomatillos has various black spots (nicely charred). Once roasted, transfer to same bowl and set aside. 
  2. Oven Roast/Broil - This method works best when making tomatillos sauce at moment's notice and have no time to switch on grill. Simply transfer seasoned tomatillos on sheet pan. Place oven rack in top most shelf. Preheat oven to boiler setting. Broil tomatillos until nicely roasted.
  3. Stove Top - Yet another easy way to roast tomatillos for the sauce. Simple place perforated or grill pan on stove top. Roast tomatillos until dark and spotty (nicely charred).

Tip: For more flavor, roast the Poblano pepper as well. After roasting, leave in a bowl covered to loosen the skin. Once cool to handle, scrape off skin and seeds. 

That's it! Once tomatillos, and chilies are cooked, a quick round of blender with seasonings and Roasted Tomatillos Sauce is ready.  My Vitamix Blender does great job of making sauces. 1 minute on medium to chop everything and 1 minute on high for fine pureed sauce as you can see in pictures.

The best and versatile Tomatillo Sauce

Vegetarian Sauce:

This recipe can be adapted to make vegetarian sauce by replacing chicken stock with vegetable stock. Rest all ingredients are plant-based. Vegetarian Sauce is good fr meatless Mondays. Also great if you are vegetarian. I recommend trying with Verde Enchilada with spinach, mushroom, and cheese filling. 

Make-Ahead:

The best part of this sauce is you can make it up-to a week in advance. (keep refrigerated in air-tight container) Or freeze it up-to 6 months. It is a good sauce to make and freeze in peak season of tomatillos. Make once and enjoy multiple times. Life saver!

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 2 Cup Sauce

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lbs Tomatillo, husk removed, and rinsed
1 Poblano Pepper
6 Garlic, large cloves, unpeeled
1 Yellow Onion, small onion, about a cup when rough chopped
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 Bunch Cilantro
1/3 Cup Chicken Stock
1/2 tsp Salt, adjust to taste
1 tsp Lime, juice

Steps:

  • Place oven rack on top most setting. Set oven to broiler.
  • On a baking sheet spread Tomatillo (husked and rinsed), quartered yellow onion, garlic cloves (unpeeled), and poblano. Broil until skin is charred (about 4-5 minutes). Take out, flip roasted side down, then broil again for another 4-5 minute or until veggies are soft. Once done, take out and leave aside to cool a bit.
  • Transfer roasted tomato, onion, cumin, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, lime juice, chicken stock into a blender along with sheet pan drippings. Squeeze to extract pulp out of garlic. Add pulp to blender (discard skin). Scrap off skin and seeds of poblano. Add pulp to blender (discard seeds and skin).
  • Process in blender until sauce is smooth and pureed. I use Vitamix and let it run for 2 minutes on medium, then 1 minute on high for smooth sauce. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper. Transfer to a container and use with your favorite Mexican meal. Enjoy!
