I like this method of using grilled tomatoes for making a warm salsa! I had some extra spice rub from the fish sitting around so used that in place of the chipotles, salt, and pepper. This would be awesome once cooled as an all-purpose salsa. Making it using the spice rub and grilling the onions would rock on huevos rancheros.

This was great with fish ! It has the perfect heat to it !

Excellent condiment for the tacos…and even if you leave out the yogurt, it makes a great stand-alone salsa.
