Recipes are by Jacqueline Higuera McMahan

INSTRUCTIONS: Char the tomatillos over a gas burner just until slightly
blackened. Do not soften. I use a little grill, called the Asador, that
fits over a burner. Set tomatillos aside.

Soften chiles in boiling water for 20 minutes. (Or, cover the dried chiles
with water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at high for 3 minutes.)
Drain the chiles and remove the seeds from the softened chiles.

Place the tomatillos, chipotles, garlic, salt and lime juice in a food
processor or blender, and puree into a smooth sauce.

Serve with quesadillas. Yields about 1 1/4 cups salsa.
