Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 10 dried chipotle peppers
  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes
  • 2 cups mixed chili peppers (chopped – jalapeno peppers are great here, as are serranos, or go with a variety)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 4-5 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2/3 cup cider vinegar
  • Juice from 1 small lime

Instruction

  • Add the chipotle peppers to a small pot and cover them with water. Bring to a quick boil then remove from heat. Allow them to soften about 20 minutes. Remove the stems, chop them and add them to a food processor.
  • To the food processor, add tomatoes, jalapenos, serranos, onion and garlic. Process to roughly chop.
  • Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
  • Add the sauce to a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
