Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sour cream
- 2–3 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) adobo sauce from canned peppers
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
Instructions
- Gather the chipotle, mayo, and accompanying ingredients in a compact mixing vessel.
- Submerge an immersion blender fully into the mixture, ensuring complete coverage to minimize potential splattering.
- Activate the blender on its lowest setting, applying gentle pulsing motions until the components integrate into a uniform, silky texture.
- Continue blending, periodically pausing to assess the smoothness and desired consistency of the sauce.
- Once the blend reaches a harmonious state, transfer the chipotle mayo to a storage container.
- Allow the freshly prepared condiment to rest and develop its flavors by refrigerating for approximately one hour before serving.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, ensuring the spicy and creamy elements are well-balanced.
Notes
- Chill the blender attachment beforehand to help create a smoother, more stable emulsion.
- Adjust spice levels by adding more or less chipotle pepper to match your heat tolerance.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for maximum freshness.
- Use as a zesty spread for sandwiches, a dipping sauce for fries, or a bold condiment for grilled meats.
- For a creamier texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before blending.
- Drizzle over tacos, burgers, or roasted vegetables to add a smoky, spicy kick to your dishes.
