Servings: 6 to 8
Calories: 20kcal
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo
- ¼ to ½ onion
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic
- 1 juice of a lime (about 2 Tablespoons)
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 28 oz can crushed tomato
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the canned tomatoes to a blender. Blend on low until the large chunks are chopped.
- Add canned tomatoes and blend about 10 or 20 seconds until ingredients are just incorporated, leaving some texture. Taste with a chip and adjust the spice level with more chipotle peppers or adobo sauce.
Notes
- Heat Level - Using 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce will give you a little kick of heat without being overly spicy. Add an additional pepper or more sauce from the can if you want it spicier.
- Taste and Adjust - Blend the salsa just enough to incorporate the ingredients, then give it a taste with a chip. You can add more chipotle peppers, honey, lime juice or salt to suit your taste!
- Freezing - This salsa can be refrigerated for a week or frozen. Extra chipotle peppers in adobe can also be frozen.
