Ingredients

1 pound (about 14) tomatillos 

1/2 small jalapeño 

1 small yellow onion, cut in half 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

Juice of 1 lime 

1 teaspoon coarse salt 

1 teaspoon sugar 

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped 

Preparation

Heat an outdoor or stove-top grill. Keeping them in their husks, brush the tomatillos, the jalapeno, and onion halves lightly with the olive oil. Grill the vegetables until soft, about 15 minutes.

Remove the husks from the tomatillos. Place grilled vegetables into the bowl of a food processor. Add the lime juice, salt, sugar, cumin, and cilantro. Pulse the mixture until salsa is formed, about 8 pulses. Serve with warm tortilla chips.
