Earlier this week I promised you Superbowl recipes, and I'm back to deliver. I don't break a promise.



After making some amazing Crab and Chipotle Aioli Deviled Eggs last week, I had some leftover chipotles to use. Can't let those go to waste.

 
























And I knew I wanted to make some apps for snacking during the Superbowl, so Chipotle Salsa only seemed right.























I'm not a huge fan of the jarred salsas. But homemade salsa has opened my eyes to the beauty of a good salsa.



























Now I just gotta learn how to make it look all pretty and salsa-y. Next time we make this I'll be sure to take another picture as my salsa-photographing skills need some work. I think I need a new food processor, one that doesn't only hold like a cup of ingredients and therefore doesn't really chop like it's supposed to. It's on the list.


























Chipotle Salsa
from Eclectic Recipes on the Betty Crocker site 

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
• 1 can (14.5 oz) Hunt's fire roasted tomatoes, undrained 
• 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from a 7-oz can) 
• 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves 
• tortilla chips or Sour Cream and Onion Doritos for dipping   

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring frequently, until onion is soft. Add Roma tomatoes and cook 4 to 5 minutes. 

Stir in the canned tomatoes and chipotle chiles. Heat to boiling; then reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Place the salsa and cilantro in a food processor or blender. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until cilantro is finely chopped. Transfer to serving bowl. Serve salsa with tortilla chips.
