Directions

You can make this as mild or as hot as you like.

Mix all the ingredient to together except salt (and chipotles) in a bowl.

Allow to stand for 1 hour. Add salt to taste.

NOW COMES THE HOT PART: From your local MEXICAN supply house. I like Que' Pasa on Cambie. 1 Can of CHIPOTLE peppers in ADOBO sauce. If you are sharing this with some one who likes things milder split what you have made and place your's into a blender. Add a few peppers with some sauce Mix and taste. Add as much as it takes to satisfy your HOT TASTE BUDS.
