In the quest to making my perfect lunchtime meal, I'm attempting to replicate & improve on the Subway Italian BMT, with southwest sauce :D

The base is of course easy, but how can I make a similar sauce?
 
Mayo, Lime, Chipotle (smoke dried jalepenos), Garlic, Salt, Pepper. You'll need to play to get the right balance but it's close, I personally like this with a drop of paprika and a tiny bit of sour cream, but I'm a wierdo!
 
I make my own BMT's but i use a chilli tomato sauce that i get from aldi (its just a tomato sauce with chilli in) and its really nice.

Whilst it may be difficult to find in supermarkets, though not impossible, you'll easily get it online. Like so -

Though Waitrose does sell a Chipotle paste.

I'd love to open up a shop in Glasgow that sells these sorts of speciality ingredients, spices, and stuff like that. I'd have a coffee section, and have SiliconSlave & Flibster on the payroll and obviously a large booze section.

I live in St Davids, don't think I've ever seen a Waitrose :D.

I'll check the local Food & Wine shop, failing that, online it is
 
AH2 got it bang on, I get it all from coolchile, there are indie places you can get it from, good luck sourcing them, I wish we had more immigrant culture here for this kinda thing
 
Tesco sell dried ancho chillies (similar taste to chipotle IMO). Great to rehydrate for stews/chillis etc and you could make your own bbq sauce with them, ketchup, cider vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, paprika

To get me to go to Glasgow? You can't afford me. :p ;) :D
 
I just mix some dried chipotle chillies with some olive oil and give it a bash to make a paste, then stir that into some mayo. Keeps for ages and cheap as chips if you use just a cheap mayo.

As for where to get Chipotle chillies from, I get mine from an asian supermarket online when I order other stuff. Discovery do a paste you can buy, but only Waitrose stock it as far as I know.
