Ingredients
Ingredients
- FOR THE SALSA:
- 1-1/2 cup avocado oil
- 7 ounces chipotles in adobo
- 8 Roma tomatoes, cored
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons Casa M Spice Co® Chain Reaction®
- 2 teaspoons Casa M Spice Co® Cattle Drive®
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
-
01
Preheat oven to 450°F
15 min425°F if using convection bake.
-
02
Core tomatoes and chop onion
5 minGet your tomatoes cored and onion in rough chunks — you want pieces that'll char evenly on a hot surface, not steam. This prep takes two minutes if your knife is sharp.
-
03
Arrange vegetables on lined baking sheet
2 minTomatoes, garlic, and onion.
-
04
Roast vegetables for 30-60 min
45 minWatch for browning tomatoes and onions releasing fluid.
-
05
Let vegetables cool
10 minDon't skip this step; hot salsa is unblendable salsa. Let those charred vegetables cool enough to handle comfortably, and you'll get a smoother purée without cooking off the fresh heat you just built.
-
06
Blend all ingredients until smooth
3 minOil, chipotles, seasonings, oregano, and cooled vegetables.
-
07
Simmer salsa for 15-20 min
18 minThin with stock as needed for desired consistency.
-
08
Taste and adjust seasonings
2 minStart with half the spices, then add more — Chain Reaction® and Cattle Drive® are potent, and you can always build heat, but you can't take it back. Taste on a chip and dial in salt last, after you know where the smoke and spice are sitting.
From Mike's Notebook
Don't skip the 30-60 minute roast — charred edges are where the salsa's smoke flavor lives.
Blend hot vegetables with cold oil to emulsify it properly; warm oil breaks the sauce.
Simmer after blending to meld the spices with the roasted vegetables, not just to thin it.
