Ingredients
Scale
Chipotle Burrito Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, chipotle peppers, fresh lime juice, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, and salt.
- Blend Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Check for seasoning and adjust salt or honey as needed.
- Refrigerate Sauce: Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
- Serve: Use the creamy chipotle sauce as a delicious topping or dip for burritos, tacos, quesadillas, or bowls to enhance any meal with smoky and tangy heat.
Notes
- The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt to reduce fat content.
- Adjust the number of chipotle peppers to control the spiciness of the sauce.
- If you do not have a blender, finely mince the chipotle peppers and garlic and mix with other ingredients until well combined.
- This sauce also pairs well as a dressing for salads or a dip for roasted vegetables.
