8 servings kosher salt and pepper black freshly ground
2 poblano chiles halved seeded
1 bunch scallions trimmed
0.3 cup tequila
6 tomatillos halved
8 servings tortilla chips for serving
8 servings vegetable oil for drizzling
Equipment
food processor
bowl
baking sheet
broiler
Directions
Place the tomatillos, poblanos and scallions on a rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place under the broiler and cook until well charred, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin from the poblanos.
Add the charred vegetables to a food processor along with the tequila, chili powder, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Remove to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight.
