SO EASY!!! If you love homemade salsa please give this a try...it takes only minutes to make and tastes sooo much better than store bought. If you don't like chipotle-as it does impart that smokey flavor then try using jalapenos or serano esbache(pickled) for a straight up traditional salsa-this is delicious as well. For those of you who do not like any heat just skip the peppers and add a Tablespoon of vinegar or lime juice. This salsa needs time to marinate at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 (28 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes |
1/2 cup cilantro, fresh (about 1/3 of a bunch-some stems are ok) |
2 -4 chipotle peppers, you decide how hot you like it |
2 teaspoons chipotle chili sauce, from the can of chipotle chili peppers |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon granulated garlic |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in a blender and pulse about 20 seconds or to desired consistency. Pour into container and chill 4hrs to overnight. Lasts about 3-4 days refrigerated.
2. If you are using jalapeno or seranos add about 2-3 Tbl of the vinegar juice they are canned in-it really makes a great tasting salsa.
3. The 1/2 tsp sugar helps with any bitterness that may develope from the chilli powder or onion.
4. I recomend using only red or white onions-not yellow.
