Notes

Half a chipotle pepper is all you will need in this recipe. Make sure to include some of of the adobo sauce also so that you have 1 tsp to add to this dish.
If you do not have a skillet with a cover, use aluminum foil, but make sure to check regularly to make sure the ingredients do not dry out. Add a couple tbsp of water if drying occurs.
