Griddled Tomato Chipotle Salsa Recipes

Steps:

Once the cilantro leaves are chopped, add the chipotle pepper. Then, stop the processor and add the tomatoes, salt and lime juice to taste (start with half a lime and add more if needed). Process until the salsa is the texture you like.
• Add the minced Jalapeño pepper. Drain the onion well and add it to the processor as well. Process one more time. Adjust the seasonings (salt and lime juice) to taste and serve with tortilla chips.
