Editor's note: Serve this sauce with Lourdes Castro's Chicken Tamales
This is an incredibly versatile sauce that you will refer to as your "special sauce." It is creamy, smoky, and a bit spicy, and goes just as well with chicken and seafood as it does with meat and pork. But don't limit yourself to its conventional uses. Spread it on sandwiches or use it as a dip for vegetables.
COOKING NOTES
TECHNIQUES
If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can still make the sauce by finely chopping the chipotle chiles and combining them with the mayonnaise and crema.
ADVANCE PREPARATION
This sauce can be made well in advance and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
