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
