Honesty everybody who eats Mexican at my place ask for the recipe. Rightly so because its so darn delicious and helps round off the Mexican flavors specially tacos. So instead of texting them step-by step the ingredients I thought I should post it here that way I can direct them to my blog, Are you listening sis!
To get the authentic flavor Chipotle is essential to this sauce. I love chipotle in adobo sauce, there are many brands all pretty good, but I found this really good. see the image below (its not sponsored, I love the product). If you can’t find chipotle with adobo, ground chipotle powder works well or use smoked paprika.
Here are some recipes you could try.
