Notes
*I used La Costena Chipotle in Adobo Sauce which I found in the Mexican section at my local Woolworths. It is essentially whole chillies that have been chopped up and mixed in the sauce. I used 2 tablespoons and it was quite spicy. If spice is not your thing, start with ½ tablespoon and add more if you want depending on how you think it tastes.
