For a smokier flavor, lightly char the jalapeño and ancho chile under a broiler before blending. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper. You can also substitute a poblano pepper for less heat. The quality of the tomatoes greatly impacts the final flavor. Opt for high-quality, ripe tomatoes for the best results. This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time. Experiment with different types of chiles for unique flavor profiles. Consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika for added depth. For a smoother consistency, consider straining the salsa through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. This will remove any larger pieces of skin or seeds.
