Ingredients
- 2-1/2 lbs (1.13 kilos) roma tomatoes
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium yellow or white onion (peeled and chopped)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 large chipotles en adobo (de-stemmed and minced)
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
- Place the tomatoes in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Roast the tomatoes, in a pre-heated 350 degree F oven, turning occasionally, until the skins begin to burst, and the tomatoes are soft, about 25-minutes.
- Place the roasted tomatoes under a broiler for about 5 minutes to blacken the skins in spots.
- Remove the tomatoes from the oven and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Place the oil in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it is soft and translucent but not brown, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and chipotles en adobo and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Place the onion mixture and tomatoes in a blender and puree until smooth. Add salt to taste.
- Strain the sauce in a medium-mesh strainer.
- Pour the sauce into a saucepan over medium-low heat, cover, and keep warm.
Notes
- NOTE 1: This recipe was adapted slightly from the Chipotle Sauce recipe in the Enchiladas Aztec to Tex Mex Cookbook by Cappy Lawton and Chris Waters Dunn.
- NOTE 2: If making this sauce ahead of time, pour the Chipotle Sauce into an air-tight container, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Per the Enchiladas cookbook, the sauce may be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
