Creamy Chipotle Sauce
This bold and creamy sauce adds the perfect kick to your favorite tacos, bowls, and snacks.
recipesbynani.comThere is something special about having a reliable sauce in the fridge that brings everything together. This chipotle sauce is one of my favorites because it is so simple to whip up, yet it adds a huge amount of flavor to simple meals like tacos or burrito bowls. It has a lovely texture that sits right between a dip and a drizzle, making it perfect for just about anything.
I love that you get to decide exactly how spicy this gets. Start with a little bit of the chipotle pepper, give it a quick taste, and add more if you want a bigger punch of heat. It stays nice and fresh in the fridge for a few days, so I often make a batch to keep on hand for busy weeknights.
