Essential Roasted Tomatillo-Serrano Salsa

I love the smokey-tangy flavor of this salsa!

I prepared this salsa to accompany "clean-out-the-refrigerator" burritos. The salsa has an excellent lemony flavor from the tomatillos, and as much heat as you care to add. The flavor blends well with a broad spectrum of different dishes, and I can easily imagine this in an omelet, on hamburgers, etc.

Do be sure to really blacken the tomatillos, and then put them in your blender blackened skin and all. This helps give the salsa additional flecks of color, and ensures a smokey taste.
