Best Ever Chipotle Sauce

5 Minute Chipotle Sauce is smoky, sweet, creamy, and spicy! Perfect for adding flavor to burgers, sandwiches, fries and more!

You know those back-pocket sauces that make anything and everything better? This chipotle sauce is mine. It hits all the flavor notes. It's smokey thanks to our chipotle peppers, sweet from a touch of agave, bright from a squeeze of lime and perfectly creamy.

Dip it, dunk it, spread it, slather it. You CAN'T go wrong!

Ingredients to make this recipe:

• Agave - or use honey or maple syrup
• Salt - a pinch to bring all the flavors together

What are chipotle peppers in adobo sauce?

Chipotle peppers in adobe sauce are one of my favorite pantry staples! They are smoked jalapeno peppers canned in a sweet and tangy red sauce. They are equal parts smoky and spicy and add complex flavor to so many dishes!

You can order them online or find them at you local grocery store (in the international isle) or Mexican market.

How to make Chipotle Sauce:
