This is a favorite of mine. I absolutely love this. The best part is you can adjust the spice .. just a little more or a little less chipoltes. Besides, use this with seafood, chicken or pork, it works well with anything. I love my simple avocado dipping sauce on the side which just tops this off. Take my dip and shrimp and add to a tortilla or taco shell with some slaw, tomatoes and you have a whole different dinner. Or top over a bed of romaine with olives, tomatoes, onions and thin out my dip with some milk to make a creamy dressing. Ingredients:
1 cup orange juice |
1/3 cup lime juice |
2 teaspoons chipotle chiles in adobo, fine chopped (add some of the sauce, plus add more chipolte if you want more spice) |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons garlic, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper pepper |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1 avocado, rough chopped |
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped fine |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
Directions:
1. Marinade - add everything in a large baggie and mix well by shaking. Add your chicken, shrimp, pork, fish, whatever you want. Remember, seafood takes less time. Scallops maybe 30 minutes, shrimp 1-2 hours, fish depending on the thickness 1-3 hours, chicken 4-8 hours, bone in, even over night, pork chops thin 4 hours, thick cut 6, tenderloin 8-12.
2. Grilling - Just prepare your dish for grilling. Outside grill or inside grill pan or even oven. Cook as you would normally do according to your recipe.
3. Dipping Sauce - Just puree everything in a small food processor until well blended. Chill and serve with your grilled dish.
4. This is also a great dip for quesadillas, tacos, etc or use as a salad dressing.
