AUTHENTIC FIRE-ROASTED TEX-MEX SALSA

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
• Spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish with cooking spray. Arrange tomatoes in the prepared dish with cut sides down. Add onion and jalapeno.
• Broil until tomato skins are blackened and blistered, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove onion and jalapeno halfway through cooking time, once skins are slightly softened.
• Combine broiled vegetables in a blender; add cilantro, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Pulse until smooth. Taste and season with remaining garlic salt as desired.

FIRE ROASTED SALSA (MáS SALSA POR FAVOR)

Steps:

• I think Plum and Roma tomatoes are the same thing. We call them "Roma" in Texas.
• Fire up the outdoor grill. If you use propane make a boat out of foil to place dry wood chips into.
• Clean and prepare vegetables for grilling.
• When the grill is hot place wood over coals or gas flame.
• Replace grate.
• Place tomatoes, jalapenos and onions on a hot grill - over hot coals, not high flames.
• Pile cilantro on top, so that it does not touch the grill.
• Place lid on grill.
• Lightly blacken all on both sides. 10 to 15 minutes per side.
• Remove cilantro and jalapeno stems.
• For milder version remove jalapeno seeds.
• Place jalapeno peppers, 1/2 of the chipotles and 1/2 the adobe sauce, tomatoes, onions and cilantro and pulse in a food processor (I use a manual Ultimate Chopper) until just coarsely chopped.
• Transfer to a bowl, add remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Makes about 4 pounds. I usually keep a pound to eat within a week and separate the remaining into 1 pound units and freeze. Try it warm with chips. I tried this with chicken breast and it was wonderful. Just brown the breast, cover with sauce and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

• Remove skin, stems, and seeds from the peppers; discard.
• Finely chop the peppers.
• Chop the tomatoes, onion and garlic.

Steps:

• Fill a small bowl with water and submerge chipotle chile pepper in the water until softened and rehydrated, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove chipotle pepper and set aside.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet, and broil until the skins are charred, 13 to 15 minutes. Flip and char the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
• Combine charred tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, white onion, jalapeno pepper, chipotle pepper, and lime juice in a food processor; puree until evenly blended.
