Quick Chipotle Salsa
I will admit, I have not always been a fan of chipotle salsa. I first had good chipotle salsa while my husband and I were visiting his sister in Texas. Over time it has really grown on me…especially over grilled meat (steak!), in a good chili or on top of a stew. So delish!
I enjoy making this recipe during the winter months when you can’t get fresh tomatoes. What makes this recipe so different is the use of fire-roasted canned tomatoes, added with chipotle peppers give this salsa it’s deep smoky flavor. It’s so quick to make, and clean up is a breeze, you just need a food processor or blender.
I also like putting a touch of Worcestershire sauce in to continue the depth of flavor with the fire roasted tomatoes and the chipotle peppers.
