Uses For Chipotles In Adobo Sauce

• 1 can of chipotles in adobo sauce

1. Not surprisingly, chipotles in adobo sauce are wonderful in Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. Chop them and mix them into shredded cheese for topping nachos. Dice or puree a few to crank up the heat of your favorite chili. Marinate beef strips in the sauce for tacos. Dice them and add to salsa (no cranberries, please).
2. Or try these less traditional ideas:
3. 1. For simply the most awesome chip dip ever, in a food processor combine 1 or 2 chipotle peppers, an 8-ounce package of softened cream cheese and enough sour cream to give it a scoop-friendly consistency.
4. 2. For a sandwich spread, puree 1 chipotle pepper with 1 cup of mayonnaise. For a burger topping, substitute ketchup for the mayo.
5. 3. Puree 1 chipotle in 1 cup of chicken broth, then mix into chicken soup. Then continue the theme by serving the soup topped with crumbled tortilla chips, chopped fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
6. 4. Mix chopped chipotle peppers into the filling for twice-baked potatoes.
7. 5. Puree tomato sauce and as many chipotles as you can handle. Use this as a marinade for chicken.
