Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until you get the consistency you like. I like mine still a little chunky.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
Tomatoes- you can use canned tomatoes for blender salsa, especially if fresh tomatoes are out of season. Opt for fire-roasted or whole peeled tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
Spicyness- To control the spiciness, adjust the number of chili peppers or the amount of chipotle in adobo sauce you use. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers or use a smaller amount of spicy ingredients.
Storage- Blender salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. The flavors may deepen over time, so it's often even more delicious after a day or two.
Freezing- you can freeze blender salsa. Store it in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving, and stir well to restore its texture.
