Equipment
- food processor or high speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayo use avocado mayo or vegan mayo for a healthier option
- 6 oz. can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce *Important: Do not use the whole can at once. I recommend starting with 1-2 peppers, blending, then taste testing. You can add more peppers from there. You can always add more heat in, but you can't take heat out.
- freshly-squeezed juice of half a lime
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 clove
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender; 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, mayo, lime juice, onion powder, minced garlic, and salt.
- Blend until nice and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Taste test. If it's not spicy enough, add in another pepper. Scrape down the sides and then blend. Repeat until the sauce is to your liking.
- Refrigerate until ready to use. Optional: Make this sauce one day in advance and let the flavors deepen overnight.
- Serve with burgers, fries, onion rings, tacos, or fritters, etc.
Notes
- Store the leftover sauce in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days. Note: The sauce tends to get spicier as it sits.
- Optional Additions: You can also add in a little bit of cumin (about ⅛ tsp) for a slightly more intense flavor. Also, if you're feeling fancy or have it on hand, you can add in some chopped cilantro or garnish it with it. I'd recommend somewhere in-between a teaspoon and tablespoon.
