Description

This Smoky Chipotle Salsa rivals our favorite restaurant salsa and tastes good on EVERYTHING. Make it mild, medium, or spicy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz. tomatillos (peeled, if fresh or drained, if canned)
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 (14.5oz) can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 12 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced (about 12 Tbsp.) 
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste
  • olive or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Place tomatillos and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil (or mist with spray oil) and broil for 5-8 minutes, turning over halfway through, until slightly blistered. Let cool slightly.
  2. Place tomatillos and onions in a blender with tomatoes, chipotle peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
  3. Pulse or puree until you reach the texture you prefer (if you like more texture, you can just pulse it to break it up a bit). Taste and add salt, as desired.
  4. Makes 3.5 cups
