Tip
For this recipe you need chipotle peppers in the abodo sauce. You will find these peppers in the Mexican section that your grocery store. They are sold in a can.
Depending on whether you like spicy food or not, you can choose to add as much chili peppers as you want. I wouldn't go more than three or your mouth will be on fire! In a can you will end up with about fifteen peppers, so to keep them you can place them on a baking sheet, put them in the freezer and once frozen you can place them in a container. They will keep for up to 6 months in the freezer
