Salsa Picante

I was inspired by Cinco de Mayo to make a batch of salsa. I went to the green grocer and found some nice roma tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers. I bought them along with some yellow and green bell peppers. I Roasted the tomatoes and tomatillos, and some of the peppers. Blended them smooth with some tomato paste. Meanwhile I had chopped onions and peppers into nibbly size bits. I added cayenne, home made chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes to my tomato tamatillo pureé the chunks. I had enough for 2 pints, all of which are soaking up their spice in the fridge. In 3 days, I will move one to the freezer.

Note: my tomatoes are cooked, so it is not a "fresh salsa" as I understand picante sauce, that is what is cooked. Hence the title name.
