Notes

  • For this recipe, you should use chipotle sauce that comes in an adobo can. Using canned sauce instead of fresh chipotle will make the sauce less spicy and creamier.
 
  • Ensure that your dry spices are fresh and have not exceeded their expiration date for the best flavor, since this can change how the sauce tastes.
 
  • The sauce must be chilled for at least one hour before it's ready to serve. This allows the ingredients to blend and combine for the finest flavor.
 
  • If the sauce gets thick, add some water or milk to it. Add a little more sour cream or mayonnaise if it's too thin.
