This thick and creamy Chipotle Sauce is one of our favorite recipes to keep in the fridge. We use it for dipping vegetables, chips, crackers and even smoother on our delicious Turkey Mushroom Burgers. If you’re looking for a quick and clean Chipotle Sauce recipe, then you’ve found it.

If you are looking at the photo above and thinking you may want to convert the chipotle sauce recipe into a chip dip pronto, then you may be wondering which brand of tortilla chips I recommend. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a “clean” tortilla chip made with healthful, unrefined oils, so I just make my own. I use sprouted corn tortillas and they seriously take less than 10 minutes of hands on time to pull together. You can get my homemade tortilla chip recipe HERE.

If the idea of express cooking is enticing, you’ll be happy to know the Chipotle sauce recipe is definitely a quickie. And while you may think that spending any extra time to make a sauce from scratch equates to time totally wasted, the truth be told, a sauce can (and often does) totally make the meal.

Think of what Alfredo sauce does for pasta. Or how curry sauce can transform a bland and boring vegetable stir fry.

How to Use Chipotle Sauce

Rest assured, the few minutes spent making this chipotle sauce recipe will not be a waste. Here are just a few of my favorite chipotle sauce-compatible combos:

#1: Try smothering the chipotle sauce recipe on beer and lime-baked pastured chicken breasts. To make, simply pour 3 parts beer and 1 part lime juice over salted pastured chicken breasts and bake at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Spread the chipotle sauce recipe on the cooked chicken. And serve with corn on the cob and green beans.

#2: Use the chipotle sauce recipe as a sandwich spread — it’s delicious on my savory superfood homemade bread along with sprouts, roasted red peppers, roasted zucchini and roasted onions.

#3: The smoky chipotle sauce recipe is also the ideal topping for mild-flavored veggie burger recipes. Although I haven’t personally tried the recipe, Cookie & Kate’s Lentil Chickpea Veggie Burger recipe looks amazing!

Here’s how to make it….

  • Prep Time: 8 minutes
  • Cook Time: 6 minutes
  • Total Time: 14 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Unrefined sea salt (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 ½ chipotle peppers + 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, we use Goya brand (try this recipe for paleo, SCD, or Whole30)

  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-heat; add the onion and garlic and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, or until onion is soft. Season with salt and add the lime juice; continue cooking until lime juice evaporates. Set onion mixture aside to cool for 5 minutes.

    Can you use cashews or other nuts instead of macadamia?
