Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smoky Ancho-Chipotle Salsa.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients. You'll need a can of whole peeled tomatoes, a fresh jalapeno pepper, a chipotle chile in adobo sauce, a dried ancho chile, a clove of garlic, some chopped onion, fresh cilantro, lemon juice, salt, sugar, and ground cumin. This combination will create a salsa bursting with flavor!
Step 2
In a blender, combine the whole peeled tomatoes, seeded jalapeno, seeded chipotle chile, dried ancho chile, garlic, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, sugar, and cumin. The blend of these ingredients will give your salsa a smoky and spicy kick!
Step 3
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. Whether you like it smooth or a bit chunky, this salsa is all about your personal preference!

Once blended, let the salsa sit for at least an hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste. Trust me, the wait will be worth it!
Step 5
After the flavors have mingled, give it a taste. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed. This is your chance to make it just right!
