From your local MEXICAN supply house. I like Que' Pasa on Cambie
1 Can of CHIPOTLE peppers in ADOBO sauce
If you are sharing this with some one who likes things milder 
split what you have  made and place your's into a blender 
Add a few peppers with some sauce Mix and taste.
Add as much as it takes to satisfy your HOT TASTE BUDS
