In a large bowl, soak chiles in hot water until soft and pliable, about 30 minutes. If the chiles float to the surface, use a plate to keep them fully submerged. Drain the chiles and discard the water. For a less spicy sauce, remove the seeds. In a blender, add softened chiles and all remaining adobo sauce ingredients.
Mexican Chicken Adobo: a Mexican adobo sauce is made with three types of dried Mexican chiles, lots of spices, vinegar, garlic, onion and tomatoes and the chicken is braised/simmered in the sauce until tender. This version does NOT include soy sauce. The smoky flavor combination is truly over the top and makes any cut of chicken irresistible.
In a bowl, combine adobo sauce and mayonnaise, stirring together until smooth. Set aside. Heat oil in a wide pan over medium to medium-high heat for a few minutes until hot. Add beef and cook for a few minutes until browned, stirring and flipping the slices frequently. Reduce to medium-low heat.
The chicken is simmered in the homemade adobo sauce until it is literally falling off the bone it is so tender. Serve this Mexican style Adobo Chicken with your favorite Spanish sides and watch it disappear! What is Chicken Adobo?
