Ancho-Chipotle Salsa

I love this recipe! We have allergies in the family and this allows me to work around that and the taste is delicious. Plus I get to kick up the heat! I use powdered onion instead of fresh (that's the allergy issue), double the garlic, and add crushed red pepper flakes in place of the last pepper option. We have friends that ask for me to save them some when I make large batches. This is the real deal. Great recipe!

This was okay but but there seems to be a specific flavor I'm trying to get for a chipotle salsa and can't figure it out. So, that doesn't mean this isn't good, it's just not "it". I could not find whole anchos anywhere, so used ancho powder instead. I left the seeds in the chipotle and used fresh roma tomatoes instead of canned. It was missing something for me and not quite the flavor I'm trying to get to. A little to much garlic flavor for me. The heat builds but I would call it med to med-hot salsa.

For our tastes this recipe required more jalapenos, more chipotles, more garlic, more onion, more cilantro, and more cumin. I'm willing to concede that we may walk on the wild side a bit though :-) I was hoping this would be comparable to jarred salsa or jarred picante sauce but sadly, this recipe as written cannot replace those. The smoky flavor from the chipotles is particularly nice. Thanks for the great jumping off point!

VERY GOOD! The directions were not clear on wether to drain the excess liquid from the tomatoes, so I just put it aside in case I needed it...I did not use it. I did not seed the jalapeno or the chipotle and it gave the salsa an awesome spicy kick. Also, I omitted the cilantro due to personal preference. I'm a huge fan of chipotle, and this had a wonderful smokey flavor that we loved. In case anyone is wondering, this is not a thick, chunky salsa, but more of a medium consistancy. I think this would also be great as a 'taco sauce' type condiment. We REALLY enjoyed this and I will be making it again! Thanks for sharing. :)
