Chipotle Salsa

By , About.com Guide

This salsa has a rich flavor from the smoked jalapeño chilies (chipotles). While these chilies are pretty mild, when you put 30 of them in a salsa, you are going to get some good heat.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 30 dried chipotles (or 3 cups chipotle chiles)
  • 8 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it has reduced by about 1/3. Cool. Pour into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Strain and serve chilled.
