Pineapple Chipotle Salsa Recipe

4.9 from 7 reviews

A delicious and smoky-sweet Pineapple Chipotle Salsa that adds a burst of flavor to any dish. This easy-to-make salsa is perfect for dipping with chips or as a topping for grilled meats and tacos.

Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Vegetables:

  • 78 tomatillos, husks removed and sliced in half
  • 4 garlic cloves, kept whole
  • 2 thick slices onion (about ½-inch thick each)
  • 2 slices of fresh pineapple, cored (or 2 rings of canned pineapple, patted dry)

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 or 2 chipotle peppers in adobo (depending on heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (optional, plus more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Vegetables and Pineapple: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Place the tomatillos, garlic cloves, and onion slices on a baking sheet. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the vegetables are charred and softened. Add the pineapple slices to the baking sheet during the last 2 minutes to lightly char them.
  2. Blend the Salsa: Once the vegetables and pineapple are roasted, transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the chipotle peppers and salt.
  3. Puree the Salsa: Pulse until the salsa is smooth and well-combined, or blend to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or chipotle peppers if you prefer more heat.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately with chips, grilled meats, tacos, or as a topping for any dish that could use a smoky, sweet kick.
  5. Store: If not using right away, store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
