If you like spicy foods and are a sweet potato fan, these smoky Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes are for you. These vegan mashed potatoes are a great way to switch up your normal mashed potatoes.
They are really good on a Vegan Mexican Shepherd's Pie. They are also a great way to add some spicy fusion cuisine to your holiday menu.
I tend to gravitate toward Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean, or Japanese cuisine even during the holidays.
I've been known to eat Vegan Green Corn Tamales, Vegan Zucchini Lasagna with Tofu Ricotta and Walnut Sauce, falafel and hummus, or vegan sushi on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
That's just how I roll.
Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes are a fun way to spice up the holidays. Use the leftovers in a vegan quesadilla or taquitos.
If you've never had chipotle in adobo sauce, they are smoked jalapeños in a spiced tomato sauce. Chipotle peppers are hotter than jalapeños because they are from fully-ripened jalapeños.
As chiles ripen, the capsaicin (which causes their heat) increases. Chipotle peppers have a smoky taste.
