Ingredients

  • 8 ounces raw pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 serrano peppers chopped
  • 2-3 small tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 3.5 ounces La Morena® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo – Or use the whole 7 ounce can for more pronounced chipotle
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • Orange zest to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  • 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!
