Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 3 peppers Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.5 whole White onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Place the Roma tomatoes and half an onion on the hot skillet, turning occasionally, until they are charred on all sides (about 8–10 minutes). Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the garlic cloves (with the skin still on) and char for about 2–3 minutes, turning frequently to avoid burning. Remove the garlic and set aside.
Step 4
Peel the charred garlic cloves and roughly chop the onion for easier blending.
Step 5
In a blender or food processor, combine the charred tomatoes, onion, peeled garlic, canned chipotle peppers, fresh cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and water.
Step 6
Blend the ingredients until the mixture reaches your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Step 7
Taste the salsa and add salt to adjust the seasoning as needed. Blend briefly to incorporate the salt.
Step 8
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or jar. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 9
Serve Crazy Paul's Chipotle Salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
