How to Make Mexican Chipotle Marinade
- In a small saucepan, combine 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 cup adobo sauce, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by one-third, about 5-7 minutes. (Reduce heat if it simmers too vigorously.)
- Carefully transfer the contents of the saucepan to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Pour marinade over 1-2 lbs of chicken breasts or pork chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken or pork for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Baste with remaining marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
- Serve immediately, drizzling any leftover marinade over the grilled meat.
