1. In a 500 degree oven, roast tomatoes, tomatillos, onions, serrano, and garlic. Keep all vegetables separate since they will cook at different rates.
2. Once vegetables are done, place in a bowl and blend using a stick blender (immersion blender). You want to get a somewhat chunky consistency.
3. Add chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
4. If salsa is too thick, add some water to loosen it up and Enjoy!

Chido's owners also have "Fuller House" in Hinsdale and "Pierce Tavern" in Downers Grove.

Bar Chido is open for lunch and dinner.
