Cooking
- Drain off about half of the tomato juice from the can (about ⅓ cup) and discard it.
- In a food processor, pulse the garlic to chop it more finely.
- Add the tomatoes and all of the remaining juice from the can.
- Add the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, 1 chipotle pepper, lime juice, and salt.
- Process the mixture until it is mostly smooth and no big chunks of tomato or onion remain, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Taste, and add another chipotle pepper or 2 if you prefer spicier salsa.
- Season to taste with additional lime juice and salt, if necessary.
- Serve the salsa immediately or store it for later.
- This salsa keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 10 days.
