    📋 What is vegan chipotle sauce made of?

    Silken Tofu: it creates the creamy dairy-free base of our sauce. It is rich in protein, and nutrients. It is a healthy ingredient, allowing us to keep this sauce oil free! 

    Lime: the juice of lime will give this sauce the tanginess it needs.

    Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce: this wouldn’t be true chipotle sauce without chipotle peppers! They give the sauce its main flavor and spice. They come in a can, and are an easy find in the US, as most grocery stores should have them. 

    Taco Seasoning: adds a delicious aroma and depth of flavor to the sauce. You can use either a store-bought mix or a homemade mix.

    👩🏽‍🍳 Serving ideas

    This vegan chipotle sauce is perfect for all spicy sauce lovers! Some of our favorite ways to use is:

    • In Mexican or Mexican-inspired dishes such as tacos, nachos, enchiladas, burritos, wraps, and more!
    • Drizzle on vegetables! Try it with oven-roasted, air-fried, or steamed veggies. One of our favorites is potato, such as on roasted baby potatoes, potato cubes, or homemade fries!
    • Use as a condiment on sandwiches or wraps.
    • Great as a spicy and smokey burger sauce!
    • Drizzle on salads and grain bowls.

    💭 Common questions & tips

    • Is there an alternative I can use to silken tofu? Yes, if you are looking for an alternative, you could use a mix of vegan mayo and vegan sour cream (or plain vegan yogurt) instead.
    • I don’t have a blender, can I make this sauce anyways? Another alternative to using a high-speed blender is using a food processor or immersion blender. However, in order to make this sauce you need to be able to blend the chipotle peppers.
    • Want more spice? Add more chipotle peppers with adobo sauce! The more you add, the spicier it gets. My personal sweet spot is 5 peppers, but I like it really spicy.
    • My sauce is too runny. When freshly made the sauce may appear to be a bit runny. However, after letting it rest in the fridge overnight it will thicken a lot! Give it some time, this will also help enhance the flavors.
    • Let the sauce rest! Letting the sauce rest for one day, will enhance its flavors and thicken the sauce. We definitely recommend making this sauce in advance!

    🥣 Storage

    Store in an air-tight jar or container, such as a mason jar or reusable squeeze bottle. It keeps fresh in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. We do not recommend freezing the sauce as thawing may separate the ingredients and/or may alter the texture.
