Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 8 Roma tomatoes (halved vertically)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves (grated or minced)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 1 chipotle pepper from a can (with seeds, chopped)
  • 1 jalapeño ( with seeds and membrane, chopped)
  • 3/4 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotles
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Rub the tomato halves with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roast for an hour. Let the tomatoes cool for a few minutes.
  • In a food processor, pulse the tomatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
  • Move the tomatoes to a mixing bowl. Stir in garlic, lime juice, chipotle pepper, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, adobo sauce and salt. Taste. If needed, you can add more salt. You can also add another jalapeno if you'd like more heat, keeping in mind that the salsa's heat will intensify as it sits. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve cold or gently heat on the stove if you'd like a warm salsa. Enjoy!
