Title: Chevys Fresh Salsa
Categories: Copycat, Mexican, Salsa
Yield: 2 Cups

6 md Tomatoes
10 Jalapenos (red is best)
1/4 md Spanish onion
2 cl Garlic
2 tb Fresh cilantro; chopped
2 tb White vinegar
2 ts Salt
1 1/2 ts Mesquite-flavored liquid
- smoke

Whip out the food processor and fire up the grill because you'll need
these essential tools to clone one of the best restaurant salsas in
the business. The key to recreating the flavor of the real deal is to
fire roast the tomatoes and the jalapenos, and to add a little
mesquite-flavored liquid smoke. The restaurant chain uses a mesquite
grill, so these steps are crucial to getting the same smoky flavor as
the addictive restaurant version. Chevys uses chipotle peppers, or
smoked red jalapeno peppers. But unless you grow your own jalapenos,
it may be difficult to find the riper red variety in your local
supermarket. For this recipe, the green jalapeno peppers will work
fine.

Preheat your barbecue grill to high temperature.

Remove any stems from the tomatoes, then rub some oil over each
tomato. You can leave the stems on the jalapenos.

Place the tomatoes on the grill when it's hot. After about 10
minutes, place all of the jalapenos onto the grill. In about 10
minutes you can turn the tomatoes and the peppers. When almost the
entire surface of the peppers has charred black you can remove them
from the grill. The tomatoes will turn partially black, but when the
skin begins to come off they are done. Put the peppers and tomatoes
on a plate and let them cool.

When the tomatoes and peppers have cooled, remove most of the skin
from the tomatoes and place them into a food processor. Pinch the
stem end from each of the peppers and place them into the food
processor as well. Toss out the liquid that remains on the plate.

Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and puree on high
speed for 5 to 10 seconds or until the mixture has a smooth
consistency.

Place the salsa into a covered container and chill for several hours
or overnight while the flavors develop.
