    Roasted Chipotle Salsa

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Salsa, salsa! This Roasted Chipotle Salsa is one of my favorite salsas! Smoky, spicy and a little sweet: this salsa is the perfect salsa for chip dipping.

    This salsa is cilantro-free (though you could certainly add cilantro, if desired). This recipe is inspired by a salsa from a Mexican Restaurant: Sonoma Taco Shop, in Sonoma county. The spicy and smoky chipotles balance the sweet corn making this a fantastic salsa to top off some delicious fish tacos.
