Notes
- Do not be shy with charring the vegetables! The brown bits and charred skin add flavor to the salsa. You may feel nervous that you are burning the vegetables—don’t worry!
- Adjust the spice to your liking! If the spice level is not your thing, feel free to omit the jalapeño from the salsa. I highly recommend keeping the chipotle in the salsa, for the smokey flavor.
