(5 from 10 votes)How do I measure 1 tsp of the chipotle in adobo sauce? Are the chipotles whole? Do I cut off the equivalent of 1 tsp? Do I add adobo sauce into the dip?
in adobe sause?
Hi Valentina, Adobo sauce is a fragrant sauce made out of dried chiles, tomato, onion, vinegar, and spices. "Canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce" is a prepared ingredient you can buy from the supermarket. If you're having trouble sourcing it at your supermarket, look for it in Mexican supermarkets or online.
I find it a Kroger in by the taco sauces
The family likes this! It is also great for tostadas with all my favorite toppings! Thank you Darshana!
Where do you find chili pepper in adobo sauce without oil?
In a Mexican supermarket
I felt skeptical, but now that I've made it...its wonderful!
Really tasty. I doubled the recipe and added extra chipotle and coriander made a nice change from traditional hummus.
How long does the bean dip last in the fridge?
I’m confused about the canned chipotle pepper in sauce. I’ve used this product before. Since the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon do you just cut a small piece off of a pepper and just take whatever sauce is on it?
I love all hummus and I LOVE tis recipe. Everyplace I take it it is a huge hit. I like spicy so I add more Chipotle pepper than called for and a little bit of the adobo sauce. I also add more than a 1 inch think wedge of onion (probably because I have no idea what 1 inch piece looks like!). This is a great recipe for appetizers, parties, potlucks etc. And make sure to add the cilantro - that makes it pop!
How would you adjust this recipe if you did not want it to be spicy?
Less Chipotle pepper. Maybe just a a wee touch of the adobo sauce for flavor. I'm the opposite, I always add more chipotle than in recipe. Every time I make this it is a hit!!
I would make a different recipe. Chipotles are hot. If you can’t do spicy, you probably shouldn’t even bother.
Maybe try using a bit of chili garlic sauce instead? It’ll give a little kick, but way less concentrated that chipotle.
