Stuff You Need
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 clove garlic
- Salt, to taste
Stuff to Know Before Making
If you can’t find chipotle peppers in adobo, you can use ground chipotle powder instead. One dried chipotle pepper equals about 1/2 teaspoon of powder.
If you want a stronger flavor, simply add a little more and blend again.
Blend the Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers (plus a spoonful of adobo sauce), lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Process Until Smooth
Blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the sauce and adjust with more lime juice or salt as desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
Chipotle Sauce
This chipotle sauce is creamy and smoky, with a mild heat from chipotle peppers and a bright touch of lime. It’s rich, tangy, and perfect as a dip, spread, or drizzle.
