For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chicken bouillon or concentrate to the simmering sauce. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to your preference for spiciness. Start with half the can and add more to taste. Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, diced avocado, or a squeeze of lime juice.
