SO HOW'D IT GO?
Worked perfect on my raw portabello avocado burger :), I only used 5 teaspoons of lime/lemon juice.
Very tasty! I had never had chipotles in adobo though I've read about it and seen it used on cooking shows. It's really quite spicy and my SO is "sensitive" to spice so I really only used about 1/3 of the can and it was perfect for us. The 3 T of lime juice was a bit too much, it turned out a bit runny so I added some cream cheese I had on hand and that worked wonders. Overall though the flavor was great and it tasted awesome on the po boy sandwich!
