Chipotle Sauce For Burgers Or Grilled Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle peppers until smooth. Chill until serving.

Steps:

• Puree chiles, lime juice, cream & vinegar in blender.
• In a bowl, whisk together puree & sour cream.

Steps:

• To make the patties: Combine the beef, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape into patties a little more than 1/2-inch thick, place on a plate, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• To make the sauce: Stir together the sour cream, chipotles, adobo sauce, onions, cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Set aside.
• To make the burgers: Oil a grill rack and preheat the grill on high for 5 minutes. Spread the bun faces lightly with the butter. Grill the burgers over direct heat on medium-high (on a charcoal grill, set the burgers just outside the center of the grill rack), with the grill covered, for 4 minutes. Flip the burgers, top each with a slice of Cheddar, and grill, covered, 4 minutes more. Remove the burgers to a plate.
• Grill the buns, buttered-side down, over indirect heat, until golden, about 2 minutes. Set a burger on each bun bottom and top with avocado, tomato, lettuce, red onion and a dab of chipotle sauce. Top with the remaining bun halves and serve.

Steps:

• Mix the ingredients at least a few hours before using so the flavors have a chance to blend.
• Recipe #2: 1 envelope Ranch dressing mix, 2 cups sour cream, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, juice of 1/2 of a lime, 1-2 T chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. Mix all together.
• Recipe #3: 2 cups ranch dressing (preferably the kind made with the envelope since it's thicker), 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 t chipotle chili powder or chili powder and cayenne (to your taste).

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir the water, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon syrup until dissolved. Stir in the thyme. Smash 3 cloves of garlic and add to the brine with the chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours. Mince the remaining clove of garlic and add to a medium pot with the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons syrup, chipotles, chili powder and salt, to taste. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of the sauce for serving. Prepare the grill or grill pan for direct/high heat. Oil the grill grates. Drain the chicken and very pat dry. Grill, turning, until no longer pink near the bone, 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken pieces). Brush with sauce generously as it cooks during the second half of the cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Chile in adobo comes in small cans. Remove the chiles and use elsewhere. Strain adobo sauce and add it to the hot sauce. Place in airtight container or recycled hot sauce bottle, and keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor add the chipotle peppers in adobo, vinegar, sugar and tomato paste.
