• Flavor Variations: Add a squeeze of lime juice for tanginess or a handful of fresh cilantro for a herby twist.
• Storage: Keep your chipotle sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
• Serving Ideas: Use as a dip for fries or veggies, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for tacos and grilled meats.
