Roasted Tomato Chipotle Salsa

Spice up lean grilled hamburgers, chicken breasts, or pork tenderloin with this wonderful salsa, which gets its smoky flavor from the chipotle chile. Regulate the heat from mild to spicy by the amount of chipotle you add.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 tablespoons per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 large tomato, quartered
1 large whole shallot or one 1 1/2-inch-thick slice of red onion, quartered
2 medium garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 tablespoon whole cilantro leaves
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 to 2 teaspoons chopped canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh jalapeño

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

    Step 2

    Put the tomato quarters, shallot, and garlic on the baking sheet (the garlic will be easier to peel after roasting).

    Step 3

    Roast for 20 minutes, or until the garlic is light golden brown.

    Step 4

    Peel the tomato and garlic, discarding the skins.

    Step 5

    In a food processor or blender, process all the ingredients for 10 to 15 seconds, or until the desired consistency. Serve or pour into a small airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days.
