Preparation Steps
In a food processor, combine the chopped chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, cocoa powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt.
Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. You can leave it chunky or process until smoother.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or adobo sauce for extra heat and smokiness.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
This salsa is great with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled meats.
