Put on your apron and ensure your hands are clean.

Gather the ingredients: 14 tomatillos, 1/2 cup Chile de Árbol, 3 garlic cloves, 1/4 onion, and salt.

Smash the 3 garlic cloves to easily remove the skins and set them aside.

Cut the 1/4 onion in half and set aside.

Remove the husks from the 14 tomatillos, rinse them under cold water to remove the sticky residue and dirt, and set aside.

Place the tomatillos in a hot skillet with the cut side down, along with the onion halves and garlic cloves.

Add the 1/2 cup of Chile de Árbol to the skillet.

Roast the tomatillos for about 5 to 7 minutes until they change color and become juicy, flipping them over for an additional 1 to 2 minutes after that.

Remove the garlic cloves and onion when they are nicely roasted and golden brown, being careful not to burn them.

Once the tomatillos are ready, transfer them to a blender along with the roasted garlic, onion, and salt to taste.

Blend the ingredients until you reach a chunky texture, without adding any liquid.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
