Roasted Chipotle Salsa
Roasted Chipotle Salsa
This salsa has a deliciously smoky flavor with a slight heat from the chipotle peppers. As with any salsa, you can adjust the heat to your liking by adding more peppers! It’s easy to make with just a few fresh ingredients and the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce give it a nice complex flavor. Finally, the addition of chopped fresh onion compliments the roasted flavors and adds a contrast of textures. It’s a great snack with tortilla chips or a condiment to any meal you would add salsa to.
