What You’ll Need This recipe makes enough chipotle mayo for about 4-6 people: ½ cup mayonnaise 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (from a can) 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the same can) 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed) 1 garlic clove, minced Pinch of salt Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup for a touch of sweetness How to Make It Start by chopping the chipotle peppers finely. If you want your sauce spicier, add an extra pepper or two. For a milder version, stick with just one. In a medium bowl, combine the mayo, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic. Stir everything together until it's smooth and well-blended. Taste the chipotle mayo and adjust as needed. If it’s too spicy, you can tone it down by adding a bit more mayonnaise or a teaspoon of honey to balance the heat. Add a pinch of salt for flavor, if necessary. Cover the bowl and let the sauce chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together, making it even better! Pro Tip: Make It in Advance Chipotle mayo gets better the longer it sits. You can make it up to 3 days ahead of time, and it will only become more flavorful. Plus, having some ready in the fridge means you can instantly level up your meals whenever the mood strikes. So, what’s your favorite way to use chipotle mayo?
