Mike’s Favorite Chipotle Salsa

by | Sep 29, 2014 | Sauces & Dressings

 

About a year and a half ago we went to a car dealership down in Lindon to buy a car.  While we were there they were doing a cookout for the customers and they did grilled meat on tortillas with sour cream and an amazing chipotle sauce.  We asked them where they bought it from, but I guess a temp had picked it up and no one was sure from where.  Thus started my mission to try and recreate it.  

What we ended up with was a super ugly but absolutely addicting chipotle sauce which has become my hubbies absolute favorite salsa.  He makes it once a week and then snacks on it literally all week with tortilla chips, however we also use this as a sauce with grilled meat or on tacos or whatever we want.  As a note, this salsa/sauce is quite spicy, so If you like things less spicy, simply reduce the amount of chipotles in adobo.

 

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 tomatoes (we like roma or campari)
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 can chipotles in adobo
  • zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Throw all ingredients in the blender and blend until completely smooth.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours prior to eating so it gets nice and cold.  (Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)
