- Cut up the onion, chipotle chili, and smash the garlic with the side of a knife. The garlic should come out very easily. Mince the garlic.
- Remove the casing from the sausage and chop up into small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven until warm. Add the onion and saute over low/medium heat until translucent. Approx 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and chipotle chilies. Saute another minute more.

Notes
Nutritional information is approximate. I did not list the sodium content because it’s too difficult to provide an accurate estimate with canned products. Please use NO SALT canned products whenever possible and add natural sea salt sparingly while cooking.
