Super Tasty Salsa Recipe

This fiery salsa recipe, inspired by a local Culver City grower, packs a punch with chipotle peppers! The smoky heat is perfectly balanced by fresh tomatoes and vibrant flavors. Make a big batch – leftover chipotles freeze beautifully for future use (freeze flat for easy portioning). Perfect for dipping tortilla chips or topping your favorite Mexican dishes. Looking for pico de gallo instead? Simply omit the canned tomatoes and double the fresh tomatoes!
