Red Chipotle Salsa

This is a nice smoky chipotle flavored tomato based salsa - much like a salsa you might commonly find in the mexican restaurant down the street.  Its easy to make.

• 2 roasted jalapenos
• 4 cloves of garlic, roasted
• 5-7 roasted tomatoes
• 1/2 T chopped cilantro
• 1 t salt
• 2 T lime juice
• 1/2 7 oz can chipotles in adobo sauce

Roast the jalapenos, garlic, and tomatoes.  Alternatively you can "roast" them in an un-oiled frying pan until they are blackened and softened.  Remove the skin from the tomatoes and jalapenos.  If you don't want to roast the tomatoes, you can substitute 2 cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes instead.

Add half the tomatoes to a food processor.  Combine with the jalapenos, garlic, and chipotles and process until smooth.  Add remaining tomatoes and pulse until the salsa reaches the level of chunkiness desired.  Add the cilantro, salt.  Add these final ingredients one at a time and carefully, tasting as you go until you find the taste you desire.
