Chipotle

Lance has been missing Chipotle ever since we moved to Texas. There is a place similar to Chipotle in Lubbock but we do not think it is as good. So last weekend, we once again attempted to make Chipotle at home. I must say it was a pretty good success except the salsa needed something more. Lance found this recipe online for Chipotle's hot salsa.

1/2 pound Tomatillo, cut into strips
2 teaspoons Chipotle chiles, finely chopped
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

 I had never cooked with tomatillo's before. They were like sticky tomatoes with an outside skin layer. I assumed that you peel that layer off but I guess I don't know that for sure.

I had never cooked with these guys before either. They made my hands red.

You basically chop everything, put it in the blender, and blend. After it's done I would recommend tasting it to see if it needs anything else. We ended up messing with it for awhile.

This is what Lance's meal looked like that evening...

Lance always has problems getting his burrito to close. :)
