chipotle sauce

Spicy smoked drizzle

Chipotle sauce is a smoky, mildly spicy condiment made from chipotle peppers—smoked, dried jalapeños—typically blended with mayonnaise, adobo, or other ingredients.

It appears on tacos, burgers, and sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce: The fish tacos came drizzled with chipotle sauce.

The smokiness distinguishes it from other hot sauces.
