A smokey, fiery red sauce that is excellent on burritos and tacos, and is great spooned on to tortilla chips with lots of cheese and baked to make nachos. If you make it with the larger can of chipotles this can get quite hot.
Ingredients:
Large can crushed tomatoes
2 medium or 1 large onion, finely chopped
4-6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Can of chipotles (7 oz for mild, 14 oz for hotter), chopped, with sauce reserved to add in with everything else
~1 t liquid smoke (optional)
4 t cumin
salt
pepper
small handful sugar
splash of olive oil
cayenne if greater heat is desired
Saute the onion and garlic with the olive oil, then add everything else with sufficient water to cover.
Simmer for 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally and adding water if it starts to get to thick.
Puree with the sauce either in a blender or with an immersion for a smoother sauce if desired.
Cook to desired consistency, adjusting seasoning to taste.
