Mama's Tip of the Day

What's a girl to do with all that extra chipotle in adobo??

Most recipes that call for chipotle in adobo only ask for 2-3 peppers, plus a little sauce, but of course you can't buy them that way. You have to buy a whole can. So what the heck do you do with the rest of it?

Well, the obvious answer is "find more recipes that need chipotle in adobo". Duh. But if you're not in the mood for spicy food every day for week, there's a much simpler answer. These freeze beautifully! Pop 2-3 peppers and a little sauce into individual snack-sized storage bags, then toss the whole bunch of bags into one larger freezer bag to keep out frost. Next time you need it, just defrost one baggie, and you'll have the perfect individual portion.
