Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Tomatoes
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 medium White onion
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 1 large Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Roast the tomatoes and garlic cloves on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and the garlic is lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
While the tomatoes and garlic are roasting, roughly chop the onion and fresh cilantro.
In a blender or food processor, add the roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, chipotle peppers, chopped onion, cilantro, cumin, and salt.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender or food processor along with the olive oil and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth or until your desired consistency is reached. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of water to adjust thickness.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature. It pairs perfectly with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or even scrambled eggs.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
