\"Roasted<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I planted my garden a little late this year, so my tomatoes are just getting ripe now. \u00a0My husband loves tomatoes in any form, in any dish. \u00a0As for me, the ONE food I don’t like is plain raw tomatoes. \u00a0I keep them off my sandwiches and salads. \u00a0Every other preparation is fine with me – ketchup, tomato sauce, anything with cooked tomatoes – and especially salsa! \u00a0And while I like raw tomato salsas a lot, I like this Roasted Chipotle Salsa<\/strong> even better!<\/p>\n

Chiptole peppers in adobo sauce are easy to find – just check your local grocery store in the “ethnic” aisle with all the other Mexican food. \u00a0They’re cheap, and they are nearly pickled in the adobo sauce, so once you open the little can, you can keep the rest of the peppers and sauce in a small container in your fridge for months. \u00a0(A little Ball jar, or leftover jelly jar, is perfect for this.) \u00a0Then, if you find you love the smoky, mild heat of chipotles, use some of the others in your jar to make this dinner salad<\/a>. \u00a0If you can’t find fresh cilantro at your store, you can leave it out, but it really adds a burst of freshness to this spicy sauce!<\/p>\n

This recipe made a little more than a cup for me. \u00a0That said, my husband and I ate it all in one night! \u00a0It was “taco” night at our house, but we were using lettuce leaves instead of taco shells. \u00a0Ground beef with onions, avocado slices, and this salsa – delish!<\/p>\n
