Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, plus 1 tbsp adobo sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and pale pinkish-orange.
  2. Taste and adjust with the second chipotle pepper, more lime juice, or a pinch of salt as needed. Blend for 10 more seconds if you added anything.
  3. Scrape into a small bowl and drizzle over warm chicken tacos. Top with cotija and cilantro if you like.

Notes

For a thinner sauce, blend in 1 to 2 teaspoons of water. If using Greek yogurt, the sauce will be tangier and slightly thinner.
