When I see chipotle peppers in adobo sauce mentioned in any recipe, I immediately dog ear the recipe.  Even when you buy a small can of these peppers at the grocery store, I never seem to use them all, so I just pop the rest of the can in a freezer bag and keep around until I need to defrost them and finish them off.  I just love the smoky, spicy flavor of the peppers whether it be in a salsa like this one, a dipping sauce, or even as a glaze for a steak or a nice piece of fish.  I could have eaten this entire bowl of salsa myself; accompanied by crispy blue corn chips, this unique salsa combines tender roasted tomatillos and roasted garlic with the chipotle peppers.  Simple ingredients yes, but the sum of all their parts creates a flavor profile that is utterly amazing.
