Tips for Making the Best Chipotle Salsa:

Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes have a sweeter, richer flavor that will make your salsa more delicious. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season and locally grown.
Roast your tomatoes: Roasting your tomatoes before making salsa will intensify their flavor and give your salsa a smoky, complex flavor.
Use fresh cilantro and lime juice: Fresh cilantro and lime juice are essential for adding brightness and acidity to your salsa. Don't skimp on either of these ingredients.
Add a little heat: Chipotle peppers are a great way to add a little heat and smokiness to your salsa. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chipotle peppers or use a milder variety.
Let your salsa rest before serving: Letting your salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
