Directions

  1. 1. Roast chipotle and ancho chilies in a preheated 450° oven for 2 to 3 minutes, until they've puffed up slightly. Cut chilies open with scissors and remove stems and seeds. Place chilies in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Remove chilies, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop chilies roughly and place in a blender with 2 tablespoons of the soaking liquid. Puree until smooth, adding more liquid if necessary.
  3. 3. Add vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, onion, garlic, honey, and kosher salt to blender. Puree until smooth. Adjust seasoning, and add more honey to balance the heat if the sauce is too hot.
