Chipotle Salsa
Description
The Chipotle Salsa recipe features fire roasted tomatoes that contribute a smoky taste alongside the heat and flavor of canned chipotle peppers and their adobo sauce. The diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and chopped garlic add brightness and aromatic layers. Blending the ingredients achieves a desirable consistency, either rustic or smoother depending on your preference. Lime juice balances the flavors with acidity while kosher salt enhances the overall profile. This salsa works well fresh but can be refrigerated for up to three days, making it a handy accompaniment for tacos, grilled meats, or as a zesty dip.
Ingredients
- 14 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes do not drain
- 1/2 cup red onion diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 chipotle peppers canned
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce from the chipotle pepper can
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor.
- Blend or pulse until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use fire roasted tomatoes without draining to maintain the smoky liquid flavor in the salsa.
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce provide the characteristic heat and smoky depth, available in the international aisle near Mexican products.
- Adjust blending time to control the salsa texture, from chunky to smooth.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to three days to allow flavors to meld.
