How to Make Easy And Delicious Chipotle Salsa

  1. Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tomato directly on the skillet and roast, turning occasionally, until the skin is blackened and blistered (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove the tomato from the skillet and place it in a bowl of ice water for a few minutes. This will help to loosen the skin.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, peel and roughly chop the tomato.
  4. Combine the chopped tomato, lime juice, chipotles (or jalapeños), onion, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a blender.
  5. Blend until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more chipotles/jalapeños for extra heat, or more lime juice for extra zing!
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips, eggs, or beans. Enjoy!
