    5 stars I made this yesterday for lunch and it was awesome! I kinda tripled the sauce because my husband is on a chipolte sauce kick lately! 🙂 I would definitely make this again! * Instead of chopping the peppers up, I just put everything in my ninja and blended the sauce. Do you think it tastes different from just chopping them?

      That’s AWESOME Laura!! I think it’s genius that you just put everything into your ninja… saves time! The flavor would be exactly the same 🙂 So happy that you guys liked this!

      5 stars Awesome! I was worried I made it hotter by blending it altogether. My hubby said the sauce was a little spicy. I wanted to use the can, not waste it, so it ended up being perfect. I did 3 peppers per each set of ingredients, but I guess I’ll take it down to 1 or 2 next time. He is loving the sauce with his eggs and sandwiches though! Thanks for sharing your recipes! I can’t wait to see what I pick next! 🙂
