Description: Adobo is a sauce traditionally used to prepare and store food with as a preservative, prior to the use of refrigeration used mainly today. Chipotle peppers are a form of smoke dried Jalapeno peppers with a very particular flavor that I really like. So what does chipotle peppers have to do with this recipe? Well we are using the adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers as a base for this salsa, which makes it very yummy! This salsa has a very subtle flavor to it, great on fish, and of course tortilla chips.

You could add more or less of the adobo sauce to give or take away some kick. I sometimes even add in some minced chipotle peppers since I’ve already opened the can. This is pretty good on hamburgers too!
