Chipotle Salsa

I love salsa and especially when it's freshly made. Here's a wonderful Chipotle Salsa recipe that is easy to make and delicious to eat.

What is chipotle you ask? It's a dried, smoked jalapeno chile. It has a distinctive smoky flavor that makes it popular for spicing up Mexican and Southwestern recipes.

Chipotle chiles are sold in cans in a vinegary-like sauce called adobo. It's also sold in a dried version. You are likely to find it in most of the large supermarkets, but for an authentic chipotle, your Latin-American markets will be your best bet.

This salsa recips is Ia nice change from your average, store-bought version of salsa. With it's inherent smoky flavor, it's a winner for anytime you are serving chips and dip.

What you'll need:
- 3 cups of tomato (chopped)
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 3 Tablespoons lime juice
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons of chipotle chiles in adobo (chopped)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of cumin (ground)
- salt and pepper (to taste)

It's as simple as this - combine all the above ingredients in medium sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper and chill before serving. Delicious!
