Pour into a bowl and use as a dipping sauce, to drizzle on meat, vegetables, or beans, or as a marinade.
Notes
Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a less spicy sauce, reduce the amount of chipotle peppers and adobo sauce that you add to the blender. You can always taste the sauce and add more afterward if you want a little more heat.
Olive Oil: This recipe calls for ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil. If you feel that the sauce is too thick you can always add more olive oil, which will also temper the spiciness of the sauce.
Juicing Limes: If you do not have a juicer or citrus reamer, squeeze the lime before cutting it (press it between the counter and the palm of your hand rolling in all directions). Then cut the lime in half, and to make juicing easier, stick the prongs of a fork into the lime as you squeeze the lime around the fork.
Juicing an Orange: You only need the juice from half the orange for this recipe. So I recommend juicing the other half and drinking it while preparing the dish so it doesn’t go to waste.
