  • Slice half an onion into strips.
  • Roughly chop 1 1/2 cups of fresh basil.
  • Blend/puree 12oz can of adobo in chipotle sauce (you’ll only need 1-2 Tbsp, so you can buy the smallest available size if you can find it).

  • Stir, and remove from heat.
  • Separate into two portions and dehydrate at 125 degrees for 6-8 hours or until dry and leathery.
