Method

Start a charcoal or gas grill. Gas should be set to high. If using a pellet grill, preheat your grill to 425°F (220°C) for at least 15 minutes. If using charcoal, the coals should be red but entirely covered with gray ash.

Cook the tomatillos, serranos, and onion directly on the grill until their skins have charred evenly, about 7 to 15 minutes. Turn every 3 to 4 minutes for even cookin
