Notes
*Depending on what diced chipotle peppers you get (usually you can find these in a jar/tin next to other Mexican food ingredients), you may want to taste the mixture prior to starting this recipe. In my experience, a lot of canned chipotle peppers can be pretty salty, so you may want to skip the salt when blending, and add salt to taste after so you don't end up with a super salty product.
