Have been lurking on this sub for a while because I love salsa, but always thought making my own would take too much time, effort, and cleanup.
Finally took the plunge last week and made salsa for a get together and realized how easy it is. Decided to try my hand at a spicier version.
Recipe:
6 habaneros
6 chipotles in Adobe
6 serranos
2 jalapenos
1 poblano
6 Roma tomatoes
3 tomatillos
1/2 white onion
1/2 red bell pepper
2 limes worth of juice
A handful of cilantro
Salt and cumin to taste
Broiled everything aside from the chipotles, and of course the lime and cilantro. Threw it in the food processor once cooled and added the remaining ingredients. Then cooked the salsa down to reduce some of the water content.
Very spicy but very flavorful!

Sounds delicious. Could always get store bought salsa and add some reaper powder 😂
Sadies hot is pretty hot for me. But I might be on a different level of hot than you. Also renfros having to is pretty good.
I can’t go back to store bought. My recipe is similar but I add chicken bouillon too. I’ve never cooked the salsa down before. Might need to add that to my recipe. Do you recommend cooking it down?
Couple questions:
1) How long did you cook it down for?
2) Did you add in the lime and cilantro before cooking down? Or after?
If you are after heat, check out some chile de arbol recipes. It is easy to always have dried ones on hand and they have really good flavor and heat.
If I don’t feel like going to the store for salsa ingredients, some canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chile de arbols make a good salsa and I always have those in the pantry.
Nice looking spread
