Spicy Chipotlé Lime Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Combine lime juice, chili peppers, garlic, onion, and cilantro, in a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is uniform. (Doing these items first is important. If don't, you will get unwanted chunks.).
• Add Tomato, and Chipotlés, blend until smooth.
• Add garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and "Chipotlé Tabasco" sauce.
• Blend mixture until smooth.
• Let sit 3-6 hours, or even better, overnight for flavors to blend.

Steps:

• For the spicy chipotle-lime vinaigrette: Whisk together the honey, olive oil, vinegar, lime zest and juice and chipotle chile powder in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
• For the watermelon salad: Combine the watermelon, red onion, mango and cucumber in a medium bowl.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve. Just before serving, add the mint and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Make sure all ingredients have fully blended, no lumps. Serve or chill for later - will thicken slightly.
• Notes:.
• This is a recipe that really flexes to personal taste.
• Add a little zest unless you like a lot - then add more.
• Start with juice from half the lime , one garlic and one chipotle, ziz it up, then add what you like more of - I like 1 chipotle, 2 garlic and juice from the whole lime and zest from half a lime, but lime sizes vary greatly and so does how much juice you get. You want a tangy, garlicky crema with some pow from the chipotle.
