This has been a favorite at our house for years! It’s great hot and also cold. I usually make it on Sunday nights, because it’s a quick meal that doesn’t require too much cleanup as we prepare for the busy week ahead.

Fun and yummy recipe! I made this for kids, too, so I only used three peppers. It still had a little kick, but wasn’t too much. I also added a bit of salt at the end for a little extra flavor. Thanks, Jennifer!

I made this the other night and my husband and I both loved it! I was too lazy to de-seed the chipotles and it was a bit on the spicy side, but we like that. :)
