Blender Chipotle Pumpkin Salsa
Blender Chipotle Pumpkin Salsa is the perfect addition to your fall tailgate menu! Smoky chipotle peppers are paired with canned pumpkin to create a flavorful dip with just the right amount of kick.
Servings: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 28 ounce whole peeled tomatoes, canned with their juices
- 15 ounce pumpkin puree
- 1 cup chopped cilantro, loosely packed
- 2/3 cup red onion, diced
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 8 chipotle peppers, chopped* (canned in adobo), scant 1/2 cup
- 3 tbsp lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes*
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until you achieve your desired consistency. The more you blend, the smoother (less chunky) the salsa will be.
- Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed and stir with a spatula to ensure that all ingredients are evenly blended. Continue to pulse in 1-second intervals as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one week.
Notes
* This recipe is the equivalent of a "medium" spiced salsa. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers and/or red pepper flakes to increase or decrease spiciness.
