PrintStep-by-step chipotle salsa recipe
The Cowgirl Chef shows photo-by-photo how to make this smoky salsa recipe she created while living in Paris.
I came up with this salsa while living in Paris, where fresh jalapeños are impossible to find. I like the smoky heat of the chipotle and the chunky texture of the tomatoes and onions, which give this salsa a freshness even in the dead of winter.
