Yield: 4 cups

Ingredients

  1. 1 medium poblano pepper
  2. 1 medium jalapeño pepper
  3. 2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  4. 1 small white onion, raw
  5. 1 clove garlic, minced
  6. ½ cup cilantro, minced
  7. 1 medium lime, juiced
  8. ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
  9. salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Rinse poblano and jalapeño peppers.
  2. Roast peppers and onion on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until all sides are charred and blistered, 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Place peppers in a covered bowl for 5 minutes to steam and loosen skins. Scrape skins off peppers using a knife and discard. Slice peppers in half and remove seeds, if desired. Transfer to a food processor or blender.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, chipotle powder, and salt to the peppers; pulse for 15 to 20 seconds until desired consistency. Serve immediately or refrigerate for several hours for flavors to blend.
