Instructions

Prepare chipotle

3 Minuten

Remove chipotle chilies from the can and roughly chop. Keep the adobo sauce from the can as well and add it to the marinade – it contributes to the full smoky flavor.

Blend ingredients

3 Minuten

Add chipotle chilies, garlic, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika and cumin into a blender or immersion blender cup and blend to a smooth paste.

Incorporate oil

2 Minuten

With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to create an emulsified, creamy marinade. Season with salt to taste.

Marinate

4 Stunden (Ruhezeit)

Generously rub meat with the adobo marinade and place in a sealable bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Grill

10 Minuten

Remove meat from marinade and lightly shake off excess. Grill over medium to high heat, occasionally basting with remaining marinade.

Pro Tip

Chipotle chilies from the can (packed in adobo sauce) are the key to the authentic smoky flavor. For a milder version, remove the seeds from the chilies before processing.
