The ease of preparation and the versatility of this sauce make this a dependable go-to ingredient as well as a nice table salsa.. It also freezes well, so make extra. If you do any canning, it also holds well in the pantry. Makes a wonderful cooking or baking sauce for enchiladas, Mexican lasagna, eggs or meatloaf. This recipe was recently selected as a prize-winner in a national contest for tomato products (honorable mention, but still...whoo-hoo!).

Store in the refrigerator, tightly covered, up to one week or freeze up to 3 months.

This salsa is a bit spicy, but I love it that way. If you don't like spicy food, you can always reduce the amount of chipotles.
