This sauce recipe was when I realized that there are so many others who too need to smother food with sauce like me. That is exactly what I do everytime I make a batch of this chipotle and jalapeno sauce. All the flavors in this sauce marry together so well it's spicy, creamy and tangy and such a good staple to have in your fridge. The smokiness from the chipotle peppers and the spiciness from the roasted jalapenos makes this the perfect pair with nachos, burritos, grilled meats and so many more amazing dishes. It is also relatively easy to make at home. The most time consuming aspect of this recipe is that you have to roast the jalapeno. If you have an airfryer I prefer to use that instead of standing over the stove and turning the jalapeno until it is charred. I typically put the jalapeno into the airfryer for about 10 - 15 minutes at 400 degrees and I flip it once or twice to ensure all sides get that char. It is also a sauce whose ingredients can be found at almost all grocery stores because they are fairly common ingredients being used, for many these may be ingredients that are already in your household. For those who are not big fans of sour cream some other alternatives you could use would be plain whole fat yogurt, plain greek yogurt or mayonnaise. You can also very easily make this vegan by using vegan sour cream or mayonnaise and it will still taste just as great. It was after making this sauce I understood the personal value I saw in meal prepping sauces for the week . I made this sauce for a solid five weeks after I perfected the recipe because I loved putting it on everything and I still do. It makes meals go quicker without having to put too much thought into it and has a depth of flavor that just gets better and better with time. Also once the jalapeno is roasted all I do is add everything into a food processor so it is super easy for me to make and does not require much effort or time. It is also a great sauce to make when going to a friends party or barbeque because it goes with most things and sauces are often overlooked when thinking of things to make or bring to someone’s gathering. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do and my DMs are always open for any tips you may want/need…happy cooking!
