Directions  

Preparing the Chipotle Sauce:  

1. Heat the coal on a stove or grill until red-hot. This step gives the sauce an authentic smoky flavor.  

2. Skewer the chipotle chilies onto metal skewers for easy roasting.  

3. Roast the chilies over the heated coal until the skin blackens and blisters.  

4. Peel and deseed the roasted chilies once they have cooled slightly. Removing the seeds reduces the heat level.  

5. Blend the sauce: Add the roasted chilies, tomato paste, smoked paprika, parsley, cayenne chili, garlic powder, cumin, oil, and lemon juice into a blender. Blend until smooth.  

6. Adjust consistency: Add a bit of water or oil if needed to achieve a smooth, pourable sauce.  

Making the Chipotle Dip:  

1. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and prepared chipotle sauce.  

2. Whisk well until the mixture is creamy and smooth.  

3. Taste and adjust spice levels if needed. Your dip is ready to serve!
