Hatch chile obsessives flock to Hatch, New Mexico, every September for the pepper’s namesake festival, but you can buy them online year-round and occasionally from the freezer section at Trader Joe’s. To accentuate their medium-spicy, fruity flavor, we combine them with garlic, sweet onions, and tomatillos in this super-simple salsa that is great in a burger, on enchiladas, or simply spooned over fried eggs.

If you like Hatch peppers (who doesn’t) you will love this recipe! Amazing flavor profile. I grilled the tomatillos and peppers on my Traeger. My whole family absolutely loved it. My only recommendation is to add the lime and salt in by taste, as they can easily overpower the other more subtle ingredients. The amount of garlic seemed like a lot, but it turned out perfect as is!
