Treat your ingredients with care...
- Tomatoes — Choose ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If they are not in season, you can use canned diced tomatoes as a substitute.
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce — Adjust the amount according to your spice preference. If you prefer a milder salsa, use only one chipotle pepper or remove the seeds before mincing.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, you can roast the tomatoes and peppers before dicing them.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the salsa in a food processor or blender.
- Make a double batch and store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the salsa to your taste.
