• Now, ready your kitchen and follow these steps to make your own Chipotle Mexican Grill Vinaigrette:

Step 1: Whisk Together the Acids

• In a bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, lime juice, and honey. Use a whisk to blend them well. This creates a tart-sweet base for the vinaigrette.

Step 2: Add Chipotle Peppers

• Chop the chipotles from the can and add them to the bowl. Don’t forget to include a tablespoon of the adobo sauce. This will deepen the smoky flavor.

Step 3: Combine Seasonings

• Sprinkle in the oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Each spice should marry beautifully with the wet ingredients in your bowl.

Step 4: Slowly Add the Oil

• Now, it’s time to add the vegetable oil. Pour it in slowly while whisking continuously. This helps in creating an emulsion, where the oil and vinegar come together to form a creamy dressing.

Step 5: Adjust Consistency

• If the vinaigrette seems too thick, add the filtered water. Whisk until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6: Store

• Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean bottle or jar. You can stash it in the fridge for later use. The flavors will marinate beautifully over time.
