- While the chiles are soaking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Once the chiles are rehydrated, remove them from the water (but save the water), remove the stems and seeds, and chop them finely.
- Combine the chopped chiles, minced garlic, 1 cup of the chipotle soaking water, apple cider vinegar, and diced tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the salsa into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add salt to taste.
- Allow the salsa to cool before serving. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
