TRADER JOE'S ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

By reading the ingredients listed on a container of Trader Joe's roasted salsa, I was able to compose a recipe. What we like about this recipe is that because you choose the type of chili used, you can control the amount of heat. (I do know that one of the chilis used in the original Trader Joe's version is jalapeno-fyi.) For our version, we added one dried chipotle, which I re-hydrated and one roasted Thai pepper.
