Vegan Chipotle Cream
"From a posting on fatfreevegan.com, posted by mipmup. This is a creamy sauce that can be used in several different ways. We like it on grilled veggie fajitas or as a dressing for taco salad. The chipotles are very spicy, so my suggestion is to use a small bit, taste, then add more to suit your own taste buds. The number listed below was perfect for ours- but we like things very spicy. Note: this recipe does not taste exactly like anything else (ie sour cream) so if you are looking for something that is exactly like a dairy product you will probably be disappointed. But, if you like creamy tofu then this recipe is for you. I use the lite form of this tofu to cut down on fat. The amount of tofu listed below is the average size of one package of aseptic tofu. Enjoy!"

This is excellent! Don't be tempted to add extra garlic, though... I used 3 big cloves & there was more heat from the garlic than the chipotle. :( I used 1 big chipotle with about 1tsp adobo sauce. I don't think the salt is optional - it tasted nasty without it. The lime just brings it all together. I've made a similar but not vegan recipe & dh didn't know the difference! I love the added bonus of protein in the sauce. Made for the Vegan Swap 11/08. Thanks, AJO! edited to add that I served this on recipe#329762. YUM!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live with my hubby and three feline children in Oakland by Lake Merritt. <br /> <br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars if the recipe works without having to make changes (my own subs just for personal preference do not count) <br />*New Rule: If hubby says "mmmm" or "this is good" without me asking if he likes it, it automatically gets five stars <br />4 stars if the recipe needs a minimal amount of changing because the recipe does not work the way it was written or if overall it just didn't WOW me. <br />3 stars and below if the recipe just does not work or if the instructions are not written clearly enough to make it. <br /> <br />Please know that I will change your recipe to fit my diet. I mean no disrespect, but since I have to diet I have to do it. I refuse to limit myself to recipes that already fit my diet and like the challenge of changing already existing recipes to be healthier. I will leave out the oil, leave out or replace the cheese and milk with a non-dairy alternative, and use whole grains. I will also leave out meat and broth and choose vegetarian, low sodium versions/alternatives. I still rate recipes that I make these changes to. <br /> <br />But, if I use a recipe as inspiration only- meaning I got a great idea from it but changed it all around- I generally will not give any stars but will put a little note stating what I did. I love to give credit where credit is due. <br /> <br />I don't deduct stars if I personally do not like an ingredient in the recipe. I don't make recipes that I think that I won't like, which is why you will probably notice that most of my ratings are pretty high. I think it is silly that people choose to make recipes that include ingredients that they don't like then rate them poorly saying "I don't care for..." Anyway, you get the idea. <br /> <br />I've participated in <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group04cherry.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group09okra.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group02banana.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group12starfruit.jpg" alt="" /></p>
