Mango Chipotle Salsa
Do you like the smoky flavor of chipotle peppers? If so, you will definitely want to make this mango chipotle salsa recipe. In case you are unfamiliar with this pepper, chipotle peppers are simply dried and smoked jalapeno peppers, which are often found packed in cans with adobo sauce.
The adobo keeps the peppers semi-hydrated and ready to use - as well as very hot and smoky. This mango chipotle recipe ups the ante on the smoky flavors of the chipotle peppers by adding roasted tomatoes to the mix.
Roasting the tomatoes, is in fact the secret weapon in this recipe; it's easy to do and adds so much to the flavor of the salsa, you'll wonder why you haven't thought of it sooner. Bringing everything together in this mango chipotle salsa is the mango, perfectly offsetting the heat and smokiness of the chipotles and tomatoes. This salsa is especially good on tacos and other Mexican sandwiches, but if you love chipotle, you will love it on anything and everything.
Smoky Mango Chipotle Salsa
Ingredients -
4 Roma tomatoes
1 mango, peeled and diced
1 to 2 canned chipotle chilies in adobo
1 small yellow onion, diced
Juice of 2 limes
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Set your oven to broil while you wash and quarter the tomatoes, placing cut side down on a tray and broiling for 4-5 minutes until the skins are slightly charred.
Remove from the broiler and allow to cool for a few minutes before dicing.
Peel and dice the mango and onion and mince the chipotles (you can add a tablespoon or so of the adobo sauce as well if you like).
Mix all ingredients together, add lime juice and salt and black pepper to taste.
Refrigerate this spicy mango chipotle salsa a few hours or overnight - it does not keep for very long, but it is amazing the next day. Enjoy with, well, anything.
