Authentic spicy adobo wraps send me to the moon! But where can you find one that’s healthy? These unique wraps are low-carb, low-sugar, gluten-free, and grain-free. Yep, they taste a LOT better homemade, and they’re super easy! First make the tortillas, blend the adobo sauce, heat, and serve. That’s all! This recipe has a traditional sweet and spicy Latino flavor. For a genuine Latino adobo taste, look for chile molido, also called ground New Mexico chile. My favorite brand is by Los Chileros. Their Chile Chipotle Powder is made from smoked jalapeño peppers with no additives or sweeteners. It’s pretty hot, so you don’t need much. If you can prepare the Paleo Tortillas ahead and freeze, this recipe is a snap to make in minutes—just blend the sauce and pour over chicken pieces for a quick and satisfying meal. YIELD: 2 cups adobo sauce, serves three or four persons.
