Burritos

Stuffed with beef, beans, rice and melted cheese, burritos are the perfect canvas for chipotle sauce.

I like to add a layer of the sauce on top of the burrito before I wrap it up, and then I pour on a little more when I serve it.

If you want to add a little more flavor to your burrito, try adding some cumin, chili powder, or paprika to the beef before you cook it.

You could also sprinkle on some chopped cilantro or green onions when you serve the burrito.

Wraps

Healthy grilled chicken and ranch wraps are loaded with fresh veggies and taste amazing with chipotle sauce.

I like to grill chicken strips ahead of time and then let everyone assemble their own wraps at the table.

This is a great meal for summertime barbecues!

If you want to add more flavor to your grilled chicken and ranch wraps, try adding some chopped fresh herbs or spices to the chicken before grilling.

Some great options include rosemary, thyme, garlic, or chili powder.

White Rice

There are many ways to serve white rice, but my favorite way is to cook it in chicken broth.

This adds so much flavor and depth to the rice.

I like to add a little bit of onion and garlic to the rice while it’s cooking, and then finish it off with some chopped green onions.

If you want to add even more flavor to your white rice, try adding some chopped cilantro, lime juice, and/or chili peppers.

These will all help to enhance the flavor of the rice and make it even more delicious.

Mexican Black Beans

Whether you use these for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or just as a side, Mexican black beans are a delicious and easy way to add some extra protein and flavor to your meal.

1. I like to simmer mine with a little bit of onion, garlic, and cumin until they’re nice and soft.
2. Then, I add in a chipotle pepper (or two, depending on how spicy you like it) and some of the adobo sauce from the can.
3. I let it all cook together for a few more minutes, and then I’m ready to serve.

If you want to add a little bit more flavor to your black beans, there are a few different herbs and spices you can try.

I like to add a little bit of chili powder, smoked paprika, and oregano to mine.

You could also try adding in some chopped cilantro, green onions, or jalapeños.

Carnitas (pork)

Carnitas are a delicious and versatile food that go great with chipotle sauce.

1. I like to prepare them by slow cooking the pork in a crock pot with some onions, garlic, and spices.
2. Once the pork is cooked, I shred it and then serve it on a bed of rice with chipotle sauce on top.

If you want to add more flavor to your carnitas, you can try adding some of the following herbs and spices: cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, and salt.

Sweet Potato Fries

Who doesn’t like a plate of delicious, freshly-made sweet potato fries?

They make the perfect side dish or snack, and they’re even better when they’re smothered in chipotle sauce.

To make sweet potato fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, I like to cut them into thick wedges and then bake them in a hot oven until they’re golden brown.

You can also fry them, but I find that baking them is much healthier.

Once they’re cooked, I like to serve them with a dollop of chipotle sauce on the side for dipping.

The sauce adds a nice smoky flavor to the fries and takes them to the next level.

If you want to spice up your sweet potato fries, there are a few herbs and spices that go really well with chipotle sauce.

Cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder are all great options.

You can either add these spices to the chipotle sauce itself, or sprinkle them on top of the fries after they’re cooked.

Another great way to add flavor is to toss the fries with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives before serving.

This will give them a nice bright flavor that pairs well with the smoky chipotle sauce.

Shrimp Tacos

If you’re craving Mexican food, these shrimp tacos are the perfect way to get your fix.

The chipotle sauce is the perfect balance of smoky and spicy, and the shrimp are cooked to perfection.

I like to serve them on soft tortillas with plenty of fresh cilantro and diced avocado.

To really take these tacos to the next level, try adding some fresh lime juice, diced jalapeño, or chopped cilantro.

If you want a bit more of a kick, you can also add some diced onions or garlic.

Carne Asada Tacos

Carne asada tacos are packed with flavor, and they’re even better when you add a flavorful chipotle sauce.

1. I like to marinate my carne asada in a mixture of orange juice, garlic, cumin, and oregano.
2. Then, I grill the meat until it’s nice and charred.
3. To assemble the tacos, I start with a warm corn tortilla.
4. I add a few slices of carne asada, and then top it with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and plenty of chipotle sauce.

I also like to add a dollop of sour cream to really bring out the flavors.

If you want to add even more flavor to your carne asada tacos, try adding some of these herbs and spices to the marinade:

• Chili powder
• Paprika
• Ground coriander
• Cayenne pepper

Salmon Patties

If you like salmon patties, then you’ll love them even more when they’re smothered in chipotle sauce.

1. I like to fry my salmon patties in a little olive oil until they’re golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
2. Then, I spoon on some chipotle sauce and serve them with a side of rice and beans.

If you want to add even more flavor to your salmon patties, try sprinkling them with some fresh herbs or spices before cooking.

Some of my favorites include cumin, paprika, and chili powder.

You could also add a little bit of garlic or onion powder to the mix.

Experiment and see what you like best!

Chicken Fajitas

How about some chicken fajitas served with a delicious chipotle sauce?

1. I like to marinate my chicken in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder before grilling or baking it.
2. Then, I slice it into thin strips and serve it on a warm tortilla with sautéed peppers and onions, fresh cilantro, and of course, a drizzle of chipotle sauce.

If you want to add even more flavor to your chicken fajitas, try using some of these herbs and spices: paprika, smoked paprika, oregano, chili powder, cumin, and garlic.

You can also add a splash of lime juice or vinegar to the chicken marinade for an extra zing.

Baked Yuca Fries

Lastly, why not try something unique like baked yuca fries?

Yuca is a root vegetable similar to a potato.

It has a white, starchy flesh and a thin, brown skin. It’s popular in Latin American cuisine.

I like to bake yuca fries because they get nice and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside.

I season them with a little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

You could also try adding other herbs and spices like cumin or chili powder.

1. To make yuca fries, start by peeling and slicing the yuca into fry-sized pieces.
2. Then, toss them in a little bit of oil and your chosen seasonings.
3. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Serve your baked yuca fries with a dipping sauce like chipotle mayo or ketchup.

Enjoy!
