Try this salsa as a fajita filling or a topping for tacos, steaks, or fish fillets, as seen in the photograph. It makes a very large batch, perfect for a backyard barbecue or to bring along to a potluck party. If you are feeding a smaller crowd, you can cut the recipe in half. The leftover chipotle peppers will freeze really well. Transfer them to a small airtight container and they will be ready for you the next time you are looking to add a little smoky heat to a sauce or marinade. Cocoa nibs add a nice crunch and extra chocolatey goodness!
