Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F.
On a large, lined baking tray arrange tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalopeno pepper.
Roast veggies for 30-35 minutes until beginning to char.
Remove from oven and add roasted veggies, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and salt to a blender. Pulse gently to break up veggies. Taste and adjust seasonings. (Alternate directions: use a mortar and pestle to crush roasted veggies and then combine with lime juice and salt.)
