Meanwhile, in a small food processor blend together sour cream, chipotle peppers and a drizzle of additional adobo sauce. If a completely smooth consistency is desired, pour through a mesh strainer and discard any solids. Transfer sauce to a squeeze bottle or a clean bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
