Ingredients

  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1/2 white onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1-2 chipotles in adobo
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse and de-stem the tomatoes.  Roast the tomatoes in the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes. 
  2. De-stem and de-seed the chipotles in adobo.
  3. When the tomatoes are done roasting (20 minutes or so), add them to the blender along with 1/2 white onion and 1 garlic clove.  Add only 1/4 of the chipotle in adobo.  Pulse blend and taste for heat level.
  4. If you want more heat, add another 1/4 or 1/2 of the chipotle.  Keep adding chipotle until it tastes "right" to you.  
  5. Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. 

Notes

  • Store the chipotles-in-adobo in a sealed tupperware container in the fridge where they'll keep for weeks, if not longer. 
  • A quick simmer can bring this Salsa to life if you are dealing with out of season tomatoes.  Simply add a dollop of oil to a skillet over medium heat and simmer the Salsa for 5-10 minutes.
