2. Use 1 Tbsp of oil to brush tomatillos, chile peppers, and onions. Grill until peppers are charred on the outside and onions have softened. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so the peppers steam; let sit 10 minutes, then peel the peppers and chop along with tomatillos and onions.
3. In a food processor combine chopped grilled vegetables, honey, cilantro, parsley, salt, pepper, lime juice, and oil. Pulse until smooth, then transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and chill for 1 hour. Serve cold with tortilla chips or as an accompaniment to tacos.
