Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Taste, adjust seasonings if desired, and serve.

Chipotle in adobo: I used a combo of sauce and finely minced chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo for this recipe. I found 3 teaspoons to be the correct amount for my family’s spice tolerance. If you like spicier, go for it! I recommend adding 1 teaspoon of chipotles at a time, whisk, taste, and add more, one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired heat level.
Chipotle powder: chipotle powder (smoked chili powder) may be substituted for the canned chipotles in adobo.
Serving Size: This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce, so 6 servings of 1/4 cup is a generous amount. If you use it as a drizzle, you may end up getting even more servings.
Make Ahead: I wanted to make a big batch because it actually tastes better when you make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
Greek yogurt: I like using low-fat for this recipe, but whole Greek yogurt also works well, as does sour cream.
