Years ago I used to have a restaurant down in the Tex-Mex and taqueria territory of San Juan, Texas.
In an effort to serve consistent, delicious salsa roja to the customers I needed to make large batches at a time. This is the exact recipe I came up with that kept everyone coming back for more.

5 roma tomatoes
5 serrano peppers
A handful cilantro
¼-⅓ Onion
1 Can crushed tomatoes
3 Canned Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce

You already know, when you see a Mexican dude with a mustache or a chubby, older Mexican woman getting ready to cook, it's going to be good. Hate to be nearly cliche, but it's been the truth, in my experience, lol.

I made salsa for the first time today. My wife and teenage son loved it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with the world.
Blending a fine puree as a base for the rest of the salsa - that's so simple yet brilliant man. Creating a variation in texture, giving a more uniform flavor, and allowing the salt the fully dissolve throughout the salsa. I just blend it all at once and never gave it that much thought. Thank you for the pro tip. I'm gonna whip some up in your honor.

As much salsas I make weekly, that mix of blending had never came to mind 😳
Ive made this salsa 10+ times it is so good. I started only using 3 jalapeños thinking there was no way I could handle the heat from Serrano peppers. I now use a combo of jalapeño and Serrano and the heat is FUN. Love the smoky flavor from the chipotle in adobo sauce too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I feel like every person in the world should have a best friend like this. That is all. Watch the video. You can’t disagree.
I made this today legit it's the best salsa I've ever made. I roasted all of the fresh veggies and added about 4 cloves of garlic. The chipotle in adobo sauce is the game changer. Added some lime juice when I added the cilantro and I'm flying high! Crazy, crazy good. About to finish a bag of chips. This'll be a regular in our house. Oh my...

In other words, in my experience this is the kind of guy who knows what he’s talking about. I’ve made this recipe twice now. I made it yesterday for Mother’s Day and served it to my wife and mother-in-law-with extra soup bones because they both love the marrow! Thank you brother!!

My girlfriend and I have been trying to nail down a home salsa recipe without relying too much on recipes, using trial and error. I’m glad to see my idea of puréeing some of the ingredients as a base wasn’t insane 😂. I’ll be taking some lessons from this video and applying them to the next batch! Thanks!
Respect from Greece Maestro. I love your videos man!!!
Bro!! You rock!! Im from edinburg and really proud of what ur doing.
Just made this salsa. Three weeks after seeing the video and those chipotles take it to another level! So good. I used canned fire roasted tomatoes instead of fresh and there is no lack of flavor! Thank you for sharing.
Just made this salsa with a variation. Used 3 jalapenos and 2 serrano's, plus I added 4 cloves of garlic in the initial blending. Absolutely superb!!!!

I’m a home chef and I realized last week that I have never made homemade salsa before. This recipe was delicious! The adobo sauce gave it a whole new flavor profile I wouldn’t have thought of. The only change I made was to blend it a little bit more because there were really big chunks in it still. Then I just added the can of petite diced tomatoes at the end for some more chunks.
One of the best salsa recipes I have found online. Thanks for sharing, Arnie!!
Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks, Arnie. This makes it look so easy and makes me wonder why would i ever buy salsa from a store. You have a great personality that really shines through.. Cheers from Canada
I love salsa like this. I will eat that whole bowl easily. I like to put less salt just so I can feel good about eating the whole thing. It's a really healthy snack it's basically all vegetables.
You sir are my new hero! This is the best salsa (hands down) I have ever had. Im 68 years old so I've tried many. Thank you so much. I am subscribed and look forward to your other recipes. I'm cooking your refried beans right now and eating the salsa with a spoon👍

What a wonderful base recipe. I had to adapt a little bit; used Chipotle sauce (same brand you used) vs the peppers and threw in a large Poblano as my jalapenos were not fresh. That chipotle flavor really amplified everything beautifully.

Thank you so much, making it today.
I like the idea of adding a chipolte in adobo. I add three chipolte peppers when I make a pot of black beans, along with some Trader Joe's vegetarian chorizo. (The vegetarian version makes the beans less oily.) This is some good eating. Thank you for posting your fresh salsa recipe. I may never buy jarred salsa every again.
I make Pico all the time, but I never thought of using canned tomatoes to bulk out a salsa. Also, I always worried the blender would just go to mush. I appreciate the tips, this makes a delicious addition to quick weeknight meals!

This is a late comment to your post of six months ago. Short and sweet. Outstanding Salsa! I have been making Salsa for many years, but nothing has come close to this batch I made following your receipt. It came out absolutely delicious. What I have been missing was the puree step and the Chipotle peppers. What a difference that makes. I now have a salsa I can make at home and be very confident in sharing. I will never take the credit for the salsa, but I be happy to share the true genius behind this delicious salsa. Thank you, Arnie.
