     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.
