Chipotle Mayo Recipe
This chipotle mayo is a silky, smoky sauce made with real chipotle chiles in adobo, brightened with fresh lime. Whip it up in minutes for burgers, tacos, sandwiches, fries and roasted veggies.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-6 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped and optional
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small food processor (or blender), puree the 3-6 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce for 30 seconds. It should be thick and paste like, it will not be smooth. Transfer to a separate bowl.
- Without cleaning the food processor, add the 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon cilantro (optional), 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the chipotle peppers at a time until the desired taste is achieved. I use the whole can, however I like things spicy. You are much better off adding in small amounts and taste testing along the way.
- Refrigerate the sauce for a minimum of 30 minutes or until served. You can refrigerate for up to a week in an airtight container.
