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.
