Notes
- Want it hotter?
- Want an even deeper flavor?
- A Great Sandwich Spread Too
- Great With Shrimp Tacos Too
- Need a Fish Tacos Recipe
- Storage
- This sauce will keep well for 3 days in the refrigerator.
- If you prefer a spicier sauce, just add 1 or 2 more chipotles. Adding 2 chipotles will give it a big boost in heat and chipotle flavor.
- You can add a dash of your favorite hot sauce too.
- Try adding ¼ tsp. of cumin or ¼ tsp. garlic powder.
- Try this sauce as a sandwich spread too. It's a big step up from plain mayonnaise.
- Try it with our pan-fried fish tacos. Just substitute it for the pico de gallo.
