The grill. Get some char on the main ingredients (in this case tomatillos and corn); the resulting smoky flavor is out of this world. It’s why “fire roasted” canned tomatoes are so perfect for Mexican and Tex Mex recipes. Grilling your tomatillos will make a regular tomatillo salsa unforgettable. Grilling tomatillos couldn’t be easier. You just husk them and put them on the hot grill until they are lightly charred. The best way to grill corn for this salsa is to leave the corn in their husks and put them on a hot grill and grill them until the husks are completely blackened all the way around. That way the corn absorbs the smoky flavor of the corn husks as it cooks. Great with chips or a salsa for tacos. Grill until the husks are completely charred and blackened all around. (See How to Grill Corn on the Cob.) The flavor from the charred corn husks will cook into the corn as it grills. Remove from grill. Let cool. Strip off the burnt husks and silks from the corn cobs. Use a sharp knife to cut away the corn kernels from the cobs. How to Grill Corn on the Cob Tomatillo Salsa Verde
