Creamy Chipotle Sauce
Creamy Chipotle Sauce is dairy-free and perfect for pouring over black bean burrito bowls for an extra burst of flavor. It's easy to make and plant-based too!
This sauce is a mixture of simple ingredients with no blender required.
Ingredients
- Cashew Butter: Use store-bought cashew butter if you don't want to use a blender. You can always use homemade cashew butter if you prefer!
- Chipotle Sauce: This chipotle sauce (affiliate link) comes in a small can without the chipotle peppers. It is spicy so make sure to adjust the amount to you preference.
- Non Dairy Milk: Almond, oat, soy or cashew milk.
- Hot Sauce: Use a Mexican style hot sauce.
- Seasonings: Cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.
- Chopped Cilantro: This is optional.
Instructions
Place all of the ingredients into a container with a tight fitting lid. Use a spoon or a spatula to stir everything until smooth. Add more liquid to create a thin sauce to use as a salad dressing. Use less liquid to have more of a sour cream consistency for things like chicken tacos.
How to store
Store the creamy chipotle sauce in the fridge for up to 7 days. Let come to room temperature before using

Can I use something besides Cashew butter?
Hi Stacey, I would try replacing it with another nut nutter like almond.
Yum! I was expecting a yummy sauce, but I wasn't expecting to like it this much. I didn't have Mexican-style hot sauce on hand and instead of chipotle sauce, I had chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, so I just put in a couple of peppers with the other ingredients and blended with my immersion blender. Wow! It has a great kick! thank you!
