The two key ingredients in this sauce arechipotles in adoboand liquid smoke.

And if you cant find chipotle powder, try using Spanish smoked paprika.

If all else fails, use chili powder.

This sauce needs to be cooked slowly for at least 45 minutes, and 1 hour is better.

Use it on barbecued beef brisket, beef ribs, or on a burger.

After handling chiles wash your hands thoroughly in hot soapy water.

Do not touch your eyes for several hours.

Sprinkle a little salt over the onion.

Saute until the onion just begins to color, about 4 to 5 minutes.

While the onions are cooking, finely chop the chipotle chiles in adobo.

They are hot, so start with one chile.

you’ve got the option to add as many more as you want later.

Stir to combine and let this simmer for 5 minutes.

Taste it and add salt and more chipotle if you want.

Simmer the sauce gently, uncovered, for 1 hour.

Before serving, taste one more time for salt and chile.
