Notes

Fire roasted tomatoes are sold with the other types of canned tomatoes, and they really add a lot of flavor to this salsa. There's no need to drain the tomatoes before you add them to the blender.
Chipotle peppers come in a small can in the international foods aisle near the Mexican offerings. They are packed in adobo sauce. This recipe calls for two peppers, along with some of the sauce from the can.
