Spicy Chipotle Mayo Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 23 chipotle peppers (canned in adobo sauce)
  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce (from the canned peppers)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, and granulated garlic into a small bowl.
  2. Blend Mixture: Use an immersion blender on low speed to pulse the mixture a few times until it becomes smooth and reaches your desired consistency. Ensure the blender is fully submerged before turning it on to avoid splashing.
  3. Let Flavors Meld: Allow the spicy chipotle mayo to rest in the refrigerator for one hour before serving to let the flavors fully develop and intensify.

  • The mayo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust the number of chipotle peppers to increase or decrease the spiciness to your preference.
  • Great as a dip, sandwich spread, or sauce for grilled meats and vegetables.
