What do you do with unused chipotle peppers in adobo sauce?

Add to homemade or bottled BBQ sauce

Just buy some Olo's Chipotle Paste in a tube and stop messing with the cans! http://spencersmarket.com/offers/olo-s-chipotle-paste

I love them in deviled eggs. Also, if you decide not to use them right away, they last forever in the fridge. Well, maybe not forever, but several months.

You can also puree them and work them into the sauce mornay for your macaroni and cheese.

I line a plate with foil, then space the peppers (plus a bit of the adobo sauce on each pepper). I put the plate in the freezer and allow the peppers to completely freeze. Once frozen, I remove the peppers from the plate and toss into a bag or tupperware, then put them back into the freezer. Whenever I make pinto beans, I add a frozen pepper to the lot. I also use a frozen pepper to make a spicy black bean dip.

I stir them into beans like pintos or black beans. They also make a nice addition to guacamole.

I transfer them to a glass jar and freeze, so I can still extract them whole if I want. (Don't leave them in the can -- you can take off the label and put it on the jar.)

I'm with amysarah...I freeze them.

Lots of good ideas in this thread here: http://food52.com/hotline/10261-canned-chipotle-peppers-in-adobo-sauce

Yes! Add them to mayo and use the mix for tuna melts. They make the best flavoring for cream cheese that you can eat spread on crackers or on flour tortillas for wraps

Add some to mayonnaise to make a dip

If you want to save for future use, you can also puree them and freeze in small amounts (e.g., in an ice cube tray - when frozen, release and put 'cubes' in a ziploc freezer bag.)

Thanks! The chipotle cream sounds incredible.

Here are some ideas, from a post here on FOOD52 on just that topic: http://food52.com/blog/6295-1-can-of-chiles-in-adobo-5-dinners Apparently you are not alone! ;o)
