This versatile marinade can be used for pork tenderloin or chicken... poured it over cooked veggies or potatoes.... or toss it with a green salad. A chipotle pepper is an option if you want to give it a bit of a kick. The rest of the chipotles can be frozen and removed individually for another use.
