I’m here to tell you that I have a secret sauce in my pantry. This spicy paste is a cornerstone in our kitchen, the base ingredient for homemade chorizo, birria, and many different marinades. The combination of chiles and spices has changed throughout the years, evolving to my preferred tastes. The fruity ancho chile is the foundation, followed by the spicier guajillo. Adobo paste pairs so well with smoke and flames, just slather this on whatever meat you choose, marinate, and fire it up.</
