Notes

** All nutrition information is an estimate only. The nutrition information will vary depending on ingredients and amounts actually used in preparations. 
 
If you like more spice, add another tsp of the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or include some of the pepper seeds. 
Since it is difficult to find a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce small enough to avoid wasting, try freezing tablespoons or teaspoons on a parchment paper lined baking sheet until frozen, then tossing in a freezer bag to use in recipes as needed.
