Stir in fire roasted tomatoes and chipotle chiles. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

In food processor or blender, place salsa and cilantro. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until cilantro is finely chopped. Transfer to serving bowl.

Serve salsa with tortilla chips.

Expert Tips

For more heat, add 1 chopped jalapeño chile (seeded, if desired) when you add the plum tomatoes.
For less heat, remove the seeds from the chipotle chile before adding to the tomato mixture.
