Notes
Before we embark on the spicy salsa journey, here are a few notes to ensure your Spicy Chipotle Salsa turns out to be a fiery success:
- Chipotle Peppers: Use canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for a convenient option. For extra heat, include some of the adobo sauce in the blend.
- Tomatoes: Opt for ripe and flavorful tomatoes, like Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes, for the best results. The juiciness of the tomatoes balances the intensity of the chipotle peppers.
- Adjusting Heat Level: Control the spiciness by varying the number of chipotle peppers you add. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder version, or keep them for an extra kick.
- Acidity Balance: To balance the heat, add a splash of fresh lime juice or a pinch of sugar to enhance the salsa's complexity.
