Vegan Chipotle Sauce [Taco Salad Dressing]
This vegan chipotle sauce is smoky, spicy, savory, creamy, & ready in just 3 minutes! Perfect as a taco salad dressing & for vegan tacos, burritos, burgers, and more!
Servings: 16 (about 2 cups)
Calories: 21kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces of silken tofu
- 2 limes
- 2 to 3 teaspoons of chili powder
- 3 teaspoons of garlic powder or one large fresh garlic clove
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of chipotle pepper, depending on how spicy you would like it to be
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- ¼ teaspoon of smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of cilantro
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend for one minute. Taste and adjust spices and salt levels. (Start with 1 teaspoon of spices and work your way up to achieve the desired levels).
Notes
- Adjust the consistency: We love the thickness provided by the silken tofu. If you’d prefer it a little thinner, add your favorite plant-based milk (or water), a tablespoon at a time.
- Season to taste: Add the spices gradually and tweak any of them to your liking to find your preferred flavor profile of smoky, spicy, etc.
- Leave it to rest: Leaving it for even 30 minutes (a few hours or overnight is even better) will allow time for all the flavors to meld and produce an overall better-tasting vegan taco salad dressing recipe.
