Servings4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan yogurt, plain & unsweetened (or 2/3 cup silken tofu)
- 1 chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1/2 tsp. adobo sauce
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
- 1/8 tsp. ground cumin (more to taste)
- Salt to taste if desired
- Optional: agave or other sweetener if desired
Instructions
- Scrape away the seeds from the chipotle with a knife. (Use caution when handling chipotle and wash your hands well when finished.)
- Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend/pulse until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasonings/consistency as necessary or add salt to taste.
Notes
Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, then thin it out with more lime juice or water. If it’s too thin, add more yogurt/silken tofu.
Less spicy option: Add only the adobo sauce and omit the actual chipotle peppers.
Storing: Stores covered in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Yield: Recipe makes about 2/3 cup sauce.
