Instructions
 

  • In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 4 cups water and chicken bouillon to boil. Add quinoa. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes; drain.

  • In medium bowl, combine shrimp, lime juice, garlic and adobo; set aside. Heat ¼ cup oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce and sazón; bring to a simmer; remove from heat. Transfer sauce, chipotle chiles, chipotle sauce and ½ cup water to bowl of food processor. Purée until thick and smooth, about 1 minute; set aside.
