    This recipe was a nice surprise....pretty easy, and tasty, too. I went ahead and used the whole can of chilis....it was QUITE hot, but we served it with sour cream, which helped to mellow it out (and was a nice complement, as well. With some sauteed bell peppers and onions and black beans, a satisfying spicy meal.

    I added a heaping tablespoon of thick enchilada sauce to kick it up a notch instead of the Mexican chocolate. It came out with great flavor. I will use this one for dinner guests for sure.

    I only used 2 chipotles (but as much of the sauce as I could get out of the can too, and that was still really spicy but we like spicy. With all the elements in the sauce, there is some nice layering of flavors going on. I will definitely make this again. By the way, I would recommend blending the sauce in the blender instead of a food processor, as when I tried to blend in my food processor, the liquid flew everywhere in my kitchen. :(
