Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

Francl27

I needed some (pureed) for a recipe, and I'm left with 3/4 of a can... Any tasty recipes I can use that in? I never use the stuff...

It's good in anything mexican. Crockpot chicken...

I put my extra in a plastic sandwich bag, roll it up and freeze it. Whenever I want to put it in a recipe, I take it out and cut off and inch or two from the roll.

I always throw some in the crockpot with my chicken, add it to soups and chilis, and I use it in my enchilada sauce.

I love them in chili and Mexican rice. But they freeze very well! Whenever I get a can, I always wind up freezing most of it and they stay good for a while. I wrap each one in plastic wrap so I can use whatever I need.

I discovered a great recipe for vegetarian chipotle chilli in the MFP blog a while back. It uses black beans and, to me, is as tasty as a beef chilli: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/vegetarian-chipotle-chili/

I throw the leftover in the blender and put the purée in the fridge. With the high vinegar content it lasts a long time and I can put a spoonful in things as I need it.

The thing is... I don't really like spicy food, lol. So this might be difficult.

Did you like the recipe you made? If so portion into that the portions required and freeze for next time.
If you did not like the recipe and do not like spicy food, garbage. Live and learn.

Yes it's tasty. It's just one tbsp at a time though so kinda hard to freeze I guess.

The above recommendations were pretty good...if you're struggling to enjoy it and freezing isn't worth it, just throw it out.

Do you like enchiladas? Enchilada sauce is something you can make yourself. You can make it in bulk and freeze it.

Here's a link to Skinnytaste's recipe for it, and it calls for chipotles in adobo. Just make as much of the sauce as you have left, freeze it, and use as needed. Enchilada sauce is pretty mild.

That's a pretty good idea, but one of those things I'm not sure it's really worth making yourself, lol. I might give it a shot though!

Chipotle Hollandaise!

I freeze leftovers in a ziploc bag, as another has said. Whenever I need more, I just break off a chunk and cut it up.

Freeze it in whatever portion you used for this recipe. You will then have it for the next 3 times you make the same dish.

Not at all. Ice cube trays

Maybe I should invest in some eh? Great idea though...

Queenmunchy

Yep, I freeze it in ice cube trays. Usually one chopped pepper and some sauce per cube. I use at least one every time I make chili, and I LOVE that skinnytaste enchilada sauce above. I actually make the sauce and freeze it in small mason jars.

catluvgal

...or just toss it. Problem solved! (especially since you don't care for the stuff)

TeresaB12345

We also freeze in ice cube trays. It goes great in mashes sweet potatoes

Mix it with some greek yogurt and it is a delicious sauce/dip

I throw leftovers in a ziploc bag and store in freezer for the next time

I use it in hummus, I actually use a whole can for 1 and a 1/2 cups of dried chickpeas. I also add garlic, tahini, olive oil and lemon juice (and any spices/herbs you like). A whole can is probably too spicy for most people. I tone it down a bit when inviting people over

crystalewhite

If you are having friends over soon you can save it to put in queso.

Karin_Rae

I mix them with a little bit of cream cheese and spread on cucumber slices. I have to stop myself from eating the whole can in a day. They are so tasty!
