Ingredients
8 Ounces Raw Pumpkin Seeds
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Medium Serrano Peppers, chopped
3 Small Tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
3 1/2 Ounces Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
1/4 Cup Chopped Cilantro
1 Lime, just the juice
Tortilla Chips for serving
Directions
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and add pumpkin seeds. Dry cook them, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes until they are lightly browned. Cool and add to a food processor.
- To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat. Add serranos and tomatoes. Cook 4-5 minutes to soften.
- Add garlic and cook another minute, until garlic is nice and fragrant. Cool and add to the food processor.
- Add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cilantro, lime juice and salt and pepper to your personal tastes. Process until smooth. If you’d like a smoother salsa/dip, add a bit of water or a bit more olive oil.
- Scoop into a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
