After roasting I tossed about 3 of the Romas, the arbols and the de-seeded morita in the Vitamix and blitzed the hell out of it (I HATE shard of dried pepper skin in my salsa).
I layered everything else into the Vitamix and careful (I’m still learning how to achieve my preferred texture using it) pulsed/scraped down/stirred/pulsed again, until I got a texture I like short of an absolutely smooth puree (that is SO easy to do with the Vitamix).
I gave it a taste, but decided (as usual) to wait until the next day to correct it.
It was somewhat sweet with good tomato forward flavor, but as usual needed salt and acid.
I added about 2 tbsp of lime juice and about a tablespoon of the Better Than Bullion Roasted Veggie base and gave it a good stir.
Much better!
I tried a recipe from Instagram for tofu burritos that I really liked. They used a tbsp of cocoa powder in it.
This sounded (and tasted) pretty good, so I split the batch of salsa and added a tsp of cocoa to one batch. I like it so far, but I’m waiting to see how the cocoa works with the things I usually put my salsa on.
Just so you know… The actual salsa isn’t as pink as the picture implies… It’s a nice rich red (from both the tomatoes and dried peppers)

After a series of less interesting salsas (including one I had to bin), I have another one I’m liking a LOT (and willing to share):
Oven roasted to a nearly black char (dribbled with avocado oil and sea salt):
* 10 Roma tomatoes (halved)
* 1 Jalapeño pepper (seeded)
* 2 Serrano peppers (1 seeded)
* 1 Vidalia Onion
* 3 cloves of garlic
Another 3 cloves of garlic fresh
1 Morita and 2 Arbols soaked in boiled water.
