Heat comal (griddle or a heavy bottom pan) to medium heat.
Roast tomatillos on the comal. Turn them periodically until all sides are charred and the tomatillos have softened. Set aside.
Next, place the chiles de arbol on the same comal. Quickly toast the chiles for only 5 seconds on each side. Be careful not to leave them on the comal any longer or the chiles will taste bitter.
Place the chiles, tomatillos, onion, peeled garlic cloves, and salt to taste, and half a cup of water in the blender.
Blend until smooth. Strain using a mesh strainer.
Serve atop of tacos, steaks, or chicken.

Notes

For a varied taste, roast the onion and the garlic cloves (with the peel still on). This is a pretty spicy salsa. For less spiciness, take out the seeds and veins of the chiles or use half the amount of chiles de arbol.
