Out of curiosity, I looked up this recipe on epicurious. The reviews said to take note that the recipe calls for 1 canned chipotle chili, not 1 can of chipotle chiles. I ended up adding more and more to taste, and eventually ended up using the whole can. I wouldn't recommend this as a sauce to use while grilling, rather use it afterward. I didn't find it exceptionally spicy, but I love things HOT!

we really liked these. the rolls were so tasty, i have to say the sauce was a little hot for me. i really like the smokey flavor from the chipotle so i added a block (8oz) of cream cheese and i have to say it was so darned good, it mellowed the heat just a little and you could still taste the other flavors of the sauce.

Absolutely delicious and easy. The sauce is to die for. It can blast the top of your mouth off if you use too much in the rollup, so start off gently. I made it with fresh raspberries. The second time we did this we put sliced avocado in the center, so that it wouldn't get too hot (just because I don't like cooked avocado), and that was a great addition. It would be very adaptable to a variety of fillings.

WOW!! This is a wonderfull roll, the best! and the sauce is incredible! I made it as written with two exceptions, I used splenda instead of sugar, and I made a double batch of the sauce but only used 1 can chipotle chiles, with the sauce in, for the whole double batch. (Chicken me, but it turned out great for us.) Very tingly/burny on the tounge by itself, but wonderful added to the roll, and I'm sure anything else! DH added considerable on the outside of the roll. We will be using it on many other things, beef, chicken etc. For the zuni rolls, I did exactly as the recipe said. As promised, fabulous!!The havarti, turkey and crisp bacon and the smoky/raspberry sauce, with the richness of the port, left a wonderful rich smokiness on the palate. We will be making these again very soon, thank-you so much for sharing this fabulous recipe!!

I'll admit, after tasting the sauce I was thinking "uh-oh", I just didn't think it was going to be a winner at all. Then, I added the sauce to the roll and cooked as indicated and tasted.......it was FABULOUS. I have a super pickky husband and he said hands down, this was a five star recipe. Personally, I will add more raspberries to my 1/2 of the sauce because I would like a little more raspberry flavor. We had to use frozen ones since fresh were not available, but I would bet the sauce would be even more amazing with fresh raspberries. We used whole wheat/low carb tortillas and substituted Splenda for the sugar with great results. Thanks for a definite "do again" meal.

Awesome. The fact that it's so easy to make is just icing on the cake. I got carried away with putting toppings on the 6" tortillas (smaller than recommended) and couldn't roll them up, so I topped it off with another tortilla, more or less making a quesadilla and enjoyed the "sandwich" that way. Worked beautifully. Next time I'll know that I can add more heat to the sauce because the roll tempers the chile. No way could I deal with a whole can of chipotles. Recommend you add a chile at a time if you have any reservations.

Makes a great club wrap. The sauce was simple to make, and although the sauce had a little bit of a bite tasting it by itself, it was not too spicy served with the sandwich. I also made my sauce with sweet vermouth as I was out of port, and it was quite nice. I didn't figure my daughter would care for the sauce or the green onions, and made hers without, with the addition of a little bit of ham. It was quite good that way. We all enjoyed. Thanks for posting!

The turkey, havarti and bacon was a great combo. But the sauce was so hot that I really couldn't enjoy it. I guess I am a little wimpy on heat.

I posted a request for recipes using Raspberry Chipotle Sauce (I had bought it at Costco) and Mean Chef referred me to this one. WOW! I made the rolls in about 10 minutes and cooked them in the oven as suggested. A marvelous meal in a hurry. Not only did I find out that the sauce is very good, but I discovered Havarti cheese--another yum! I will definitely make these again, and after the two bottles of sauce I bought are gone, I'll buy more.

Loved it. I didn't have the chipotles in adobo, so I used ground, and went easy on it so the kids would stay happy. I served with excellent "Apple Carrot Slaw With Ginger Mint Dressing #95436" and it made for an excellent light supper.
