Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 4 tomatoes off the vine sliced in half
- ½ onion quartered
- 2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 lemon juiced
- Handful of cilantro
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with foil, place each tomato half skin side up on the baking sheet along with the quartered ½ onion. Place in the oven (not too close to the top) and turn your oven on broil. Broil until the skins turn black around 9-12 minutes.
- After the skins have turned black, flip the tomatoes and onions and place back in the oven with the broil setting still on for another 9-12 minutes.
- After the tomatoes and onion are done, place them in the food processor with the remaining ingredients. Pulse a few times, adjust salt to taste, pulse more until you reach your desired texture. It should still be a little chunky.
