Chipotle Sauce Ingredients
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 clove garlic
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add all ingredients: In a mini food processor, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers (including some of the adobo sauce), lime juice, garlic clove, and a pinch of salt to start.
- Blend to smooth: Process the mixture until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Taste and adjust: Taste your chipotle sauce and add more lime juice or salt if needed to balance the flavors to your liking.
