Citrus Chipotle Marinade With a Avocado Dipping Sauce image

This is a favorite of mine. I absolutely love this. The best part is you can adjust the spice .. just a little more or a little less chipoltes. Besides, use this with seafood, chicken or pork, it works well with anything. I love my simple avocado dipping sauce on the side which just tops this off. Take my dip and shrimp and add to a tortilla or taco shell with some slaw, tomatoes and you have a whole different dinner. Or top over a bed of romaine with olives, tomatoes, onions and thin out my dip with some milk to make a creamy dressing.
