- 1.5 cups oil (olive or any neutral oil)
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3-4 chipotles in adobo
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 4 garlic cloves

- squeeze of lime
- splash of water
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
- Taste for heat and sweetness, adding additional chipotles and honey if you want.

Notes
I used olive oil but neutral flavored oils will work well here too.
I'm in the habit of scraping out the seeds of the chipotles but that is optional.
Don't forget to take a taste after blending to check on the heat and sweetness levels.
