Rick Bayless Essential Salsas: Chipotle Salsa

RECIPE 👉 https://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/ch...

What you’ll notice right away is that this is the rusty-colored red chile version of the green chile roasted tomatillo salsa, minus the cilantro.  When we started Frontera Foods a quarter of a century ago, this was one of the 5 icon salsas we started with.  And its sales have tied for number one with the roasted tomatillo salsa for all those years.  It’s even more complex when you add other dried chiles, but you’ll need to toast and soak those first—a step canned chipotles allows you to skip. It’s tangy, sweet and smoky, an all-around crowd pleaser.
