I'm always looking for ways to use the rest of the can of chipotles. Quick and easy to make, I froze this in small plastic containers so that I can pull out what I need for Mexican meals. Rich, smoky flavor that puts commercial taco sauces to shame.

Quick, easy and absolutely delicious! Changed nothing at all. My new favorite for sandwiches, chicken, burgers, crackers, anything and everything. Thanks, Di, for posting this one. mmmmmm
