Creamy Chipotle Sauce
This Creamy Chipotle Sauce is a spicy, velvety condiment that turns tacos, burgers, and salads into a Mexican-inspired dream. It's a smoky swirl of chipotle peppers in adobo folded into tangy Greek yogurt and a hint of lime, perfect for game-day snacks or everyday meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt Fage or Chobani for creaminess
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise Hellmann’s or olive-oil mayo for richer texture
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the pepper can
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice adds brightness
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small clove minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin for warmth
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave optional, balances acidity
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for a fresh herbal note
Instructions
- You’ll need a medium mixing bowl, a whisk (or small food processor), and measuring spoons—nothing fancy.
- Slice chipotle peppers into tiny pieces; taste one to gauge heat before proceeding.
- Whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, and cumin until silky.
- Fold in chopped peppers and adobo sauce.
- Add salt, pepper, or additional spices to taste.
- Let flavors meld; refrigerate for best results.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
Consider roasting garlic for caramelized depth. Add water for desired consistency. Resting enhances flavor.
