Drizzle this creamy chipotle sauce over tacos or burrito bowls, or enjoy it as a dip for quesadillas, french fries or fresh veggies. You can easily adjust the heat level by using more or less chipotle peppers. The optional honey also helps tame the heat and adds a hint of sweetness.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
