Notes
Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by increasing or decreasing the amount of chipotle chili powder and cayenne to suit your taste preferences.
This sauce develops its flavors over time, so its even better when made in advance and allowed to rest in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
You can use fresh minced garlic and onion instead of the powdered versions. Saute them in a little oil before adding the other ingredients to the saucepan.
