Steps:

• Rinse and de-stem the tomatoes. Roast the tomatoes in the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes.

• When the tomatoes are done roasting (20 minutes or so), add them to the blender along with 1/2 white onion and 1 garlic clove. Add only 1/4 of the chipotle in adobo. Pulse blend and taste for heat level.
• If you want more heat, add another 1/4 or 1/2 of the chipotle. Keep adding chipotle until it tastes "right" to you.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the tomatoes, lime juice, and chiles. Puree until smooth and pour into a bowl.
• Rinse the onion under cold running water in a colander. Add the onion and cilantro to the salsa and season with salt to taste and add more lime juice, if desired. If necessary, thin the salsa with a little water. Let the salsa sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
• Tip: If you can find the fire-roasted type of canned tomatoes (Muir Glen brand), they work beautifully in this recipe.
• Make ahead: The salsa can be made up to the point where the onion and cilantro are added 1 week ahead of time and kept covered in the refrigerator. Add the onions and cilantro just before serving.
