How to Make Chipotle Pecan Pesto
Pecans are the rich, creamy base for this pesto, while the smoky kick comes from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (a.k.a. our trusty sidekick for everything from tacos to chilaquiles to salad dressing and beyond). Learn about the origins of this versatile ingredient here! Sun-dried tomatoes and maple syrup add sweetness to balance the heat of the chipotles, while garlic and nutritional yeast add extra flavor dimensions, and sea salt makes it all shine. Olive oil, water, and lemon juice are the liquid ingredients that make the pesto texture possible. Blend it all up into a mostly smooth paste (a little texture is fine!), and you’ve got pesto! We hope you LOVE this pesto! It’s:SmokyRichNuttySavoryBalancedVersatile& SO delicious! Enjoy it on all your sandwiches, roasted veggies, wraps, bowls, tacos, salads, and more!
