Description
A creamy chipotle sauce perfect for adding a smoky kick to your dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (canned)
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- In a small bowl or food processor, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. This blend ensures a rich texture that sticks to food while maintaining a cooling, tangy finish.
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the mixture and add the minced garlic, sea salt, smoked paprika, and cumin. The fresh garlic provides a sharp hit that rounds out the deep, smoky flavors of the spices.
- Pulse the mixture in a blender or food processor for thirty seconds until it reaches a silky, uniform orange consistency. If you don’t have a blender, mince the peppers into a paste and whisk vigorously by hand.
- Transfer the sauce to an airtight glass jar and refrigerate for at least two hours. This resting period is vital as it allows the garlic to mellow and the smoky chipotle flavors to fully infuse the cream.
Notes
- This sauce pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, and even as a dip for vegetables.
