Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lay tomatoes cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Lay peppers skin side up on the same sheet along with garlic cloves. Roast in oven until tomatoes soften, the skin on the peppers bubbles and garlic begins to brown, about 30 minutes. If garlic browns too early, remove and set aside until other vegetables are roasted.
Puree chipotles and roasted vegetables until smooth; set aside. Toast oregano, cinnamon, sesame seeds and pepper until fragrant. In a saucepan, heat chipotle vinaigrette; add pureed vegetables, spices, cocoa powder, balsamic vinegar, salt and tomato sauce. Simmer, covered, 15 minutes, stirring frequently. If sauce is too thick, add water to thin as needed.
